Today I've got a little something for the ol' hammies and shoulders. This pose kills two birds with one stone, which is a weird saying, but I'm going with it. Anyway, here's how it works:

The first time I ever did chin stand was when I realized that visualization really works. This was a pose I visualized I could do but really have no idea how to get into it. In the yoga classes I had been attending, we never attempted any arm balances aside from crow so I felt I was in the dark. However, I knew my body could get into the relative shape. So I just visualized it and the next thing I knew, there I was.

Aside from flying pigeon pose, eka pada koundinyasana 2 aka split leg arm balance was another pose that totally seemed way over my head. I could get into lizard pose, but from there I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how to lift that front leg.
