Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on my yoga happenings. But I have, in fact, been practicing yoga faithfully now for months. I did get the yoga mat that I asked for for Christmas. To touch it and lay it out…it’s like mapping out my own personal space on the floor. *warm fuzzy sigh*
Yesterday I was poking around the net checking out some new poses, and found this one. It’s the Crane Pose. All five of us were sitting in the living room and I presented this photo.
“Oh, I can do that!” Shane said. *yeah right….*
I explained that it looks like her knees are pressed up into her arm pits! I tried it and said, “Oh, there is NO way!”
We all tried it over and over, some ending up doing a somersault but mostly we ended up laughing hysterically at our inabilities to do this pose.
Have YOU ever done this pose? I bet right now you are contemplating trying it aren’t you? (be careful!)
I'm Sheila. In addition to raising 1 husband and 3 teens, I've founded 
I wish I could do that!

I am contemplating it! Except I know that my rolly polly self would fall right on my face – or my ass- one of the two, lol!
.-= Kimberly@PrettyPinkMomma´s last blog ..Wonder Hanger Review and Giveaway =-.
Not I have not done that. I would fall flat on my face and hurt myself.

I think her legs are resting on her arms. And no, there is no way I could do that. Not even when I was 18 and limber could I have done that.

I have tried a million times! I’ve even watched youtube video tutorials hoping it would make it easier but I can’t hold it for more than a second:( This is sad but I can’t even do a crouch–my heels just won’t touch the floor without me rolling backwards!

One thing I’ve learned about yoga is that it is always WAY harder than it looks!
I have never tried this post, but perhaps once my body is back to normal

Um, yah! Not so much LOL!

Wow, that is unreal. I can’t even imagine holding myself up by just my arms!

Another reason its probably better to weigh less than more….
That would really take some strength and control. I know I’d fall on my face!
if I tried my bottom would pull me back.. you have to have some serious strength in your arms and your butt can’t be as big as mine.

I am contemplating it. But I won’t even try it. Me and yoga. We got history. Bad history.

Yes, yes I have…right after my last surgery in Dec. it was a bit hard to do, but bygolly (1 word?) this is how I felt, tied in a weird knot afraid to move cause I would surely fall and crack my seat.
I think that photo is shopped.

anyone who is capable of doing yoga is
in cool shape.
I can try, but not sure
if I can enjoy it…

Hi, this is the first time I’ve visited your blog (from a link on Jingle’s page), and I just wanted to stop and give you some feedback. Amazing blog, first of all, and I, TOO LOVE YOGA!!! I try to do it every so often that I can. The crane pose is almost impossible–unless you stretch hours a day–and whenever I try it, I instantly fall right over…It’ll take me months to reach that level of flexibility and upper body strenght. But so what? I would SO love to master that pose!
Good luck to you as well,
Rania Abuisnaineh
LOL! I love your family. They sound like so much fun. I am trying to picture all of you trying to do that pose. It is so great that all of you enjoy each other so much!
