It all started with Downward Dog :)



Before getting into the above position, we had to practice on all fours with distributing/balancing on one arm & one leg of the opposite sides, just to prepare the body & mind for what is coming next! Then we went into downward dog. Felix said "please get into your most comfortable downward dog and make sure that 4 corners are firmly grounded on the ground with equal weight distribution".



From the above to this, need good arm strength and balance.




This was tougher as besides the arm strength, balance, you also need flexibility to reach out the hand to bind your foot & when you can't see the back, plus all the other things on your mind, (hanging on there with the arm, keeping the balance) I couldn't reach it as I don't even know where my foot was bending to, I know it was bent towards the front, but somehow the foot & hand didn't meet.

From the above position, we also turned sideways, like a side plank.



Beautifully done! Opposite leg & hand up the air/on the floor



This is just another pose for the release of the deltoids. Try it, you will feel a release of the shoulders. Go on all four then thread left arm under the right shoulder with palm facing upwards, then lift right leg up to bind with your right hand & straighten left leg.

But just be cautious of the neck, you should not put the weight on the neck, but on the shoulder instead. The back leg should be straighten.
