Well hello, Scorpion Pose. I see you're well on your way!

Today marks the end of our 39 day flexibility project, and to be totally honest, I was feeling a little bummed that I couldn't participate fully due to my travel schedule. Sometimes I feel like if I can't practice regularly I won't make any progress. If you feel like that too, I guess we can both rest assured that's not the case. It came as a surprise to me, but above, I can clearly see I've made progress despite not having had the most regular practice. The December picture was taken today. Sure, I practiced weekly...but sometimes it was once a week for fifteen minutes and sometimes it was three times a week for an hour. Pretty much whatever I could do, I did, and tried to let that be enough.

What I liked about this flexibility project was that the emphasis was on a consistent yoga practice and we could keep our progress measurable through one single pose. People used the Yoga Forum as a space for encouragement, feedback and to cheer each other on, which I thought was awesome. I want to thank all the people who participated! You can hop on over to instagram and search the #YBCprogress hashtag to see everyone's pics. 

From the start, I had worked closely with a couple YBC readers who were willing to share their progress here on the blog, and I'm so excited to share their results with you today. Their commitment to the practice (a hot topic on the Yoga Forum) is evident in their progress. So proud!

I want to share a few pictures and break down what's going on. The point of the breakdown is not to pick apart the pictures, but to point out what to look for in case you're working on the same pose and want to progress.
