Today in my vinyasa hot yoga class I was able to hold a side plank on both sides twice without going down to one knee.
I couldn’t believe it! I could feel my core holding me up, and the strength I have developed there to be able to hold my hip up in the air with less weight resting on my arm. I did not lift my leg up in full expression, not there quite yet!
It is just huge for me to not have to go down to one knee to do this pose!
I am still on my knees doing chaturanga, and looking forward to posting about overcoming that obstacle sometime in the future!
But for now, I am happy with another milestone in yoga practice, especially when it indicates some improvement in my upper body strength and overcoming the problems with the pain in my right upper arm! I posted to Facebook about it when I was posting on the Cardio Challenge page …
