Haha! This is amazing! Props to you for graceful falls and awesome on the handstands!

Before this, I always was against the wall/bed/something. I managed to get my legs up for a millisecond, and then rolled on over. Luckily, I’ve had lots of practice at falling and ended up with a pretty graceful tuck and roll type fall. But class is on the second floor of a very old house, and my tuck and roll was loud. I startled everyone, including the instructor that blinked at the precise moment I fell. I sat up with a ” I’m fine!” and she looked like a ghost had taken over her body. Luckily we all laughed.

I was a freshman in college waiting for my Science Lab instructor to take each one of our pictures for ID’s the first day of school. My turn came and I stepped up for my picture, backpack on, ready to leave straight after. But I was standing too close to the camera apparently and needed to back up… straight into the emergency eyewash station you find in most science labs. Somehow. And this is a mystery to me. My backpack got hooked on the lever to release water and that dang think started gushing GALLONS of water per second. It was horrifying. The other kids stared while the instructor ran for a janitor.

I still cringe when I think about it. But that is not who I am, it’s just something that makes up the fabric of my life. Just like yours. And I love that you take classes with your daughter. Athleta would be proud of you two.

I have not tried yoga in years tho do continue to meditate. I am in water aerobics currently working on building strength in my legs, trying to get rid of saggy upper arms (a hopeful possibility!), and tighten more of the midriff. At 65 I can only do so much!!!

Hey – Thank you so much for the heads up. I will keep an eye on that. I am working toward side crow but I’ll make sure I am careful – aint nobody got time for injuries!- I’m so sorry you were hurt!

TIME! I trip over nothing. I fall UP the stairs! How is that even possible?!? I run into walls and desks (always right on the corner). Last weekend I hit my knee with the door of my husband’s truck not once but TWICE in one day!! (I have the bruises to show for it) I’m just happy to know I’m not alone in my clumsiness!

I do have one cautionary yoga tale though that I didn’t know until it happened to me, even though I am an ardent practitioner. Be careful with arm balances please. The wrist are not designed to hold our body weight – that’s why we have feet (quoting my wrist surgeon). I ended up with wrist surgery caused by arm balances – crane, crow, firefly, handstand. I had no idea that there were any risks at all with arm balances, but there certainly are. Just be cautious.
