good posting... thanks...^^

omg you're flexible.

I was once tasked with standing on one foot keeping my balance for as long as i could. I did ok. Then I was asked to do it with my eyes closed.

Not easy with eyes closed!!

It totally changes without sight! That's really interesting because you can do the same asana thousands of times and think you know it inside and out, but with a super subtle change--like just closing the eyes--the entire thing morphs into a different experience. Thanks for reminding me; that's one of the most epic things I love about yoga @solarguy!

Beautiful @saramiller. I'm always following your work :)

Great reference! I upvoted and resteemed, and I promoted it on SteemTrail under the #fitness-trail subgroup.

Yay. I'm going to read more of your posts. I tried a few beginners yoga poses last night and it was NOT as easy as I thought it would be. But it felt amazing!

Sweet, thanks @kaykunoichi!
I agree, yoga can be really surprising. Some things look like they'd be hard, but you nail them right away, and some things look super easy but you might struggle for years. One aspect is about letting go of expectations and instead drop into that space you experienced where it just feels amazing!
Hope you continue to bliss out!
