Member Yoga Photos/Poses
November 11, 2016 at 3:34 pm
Since a lot of people seemed to want to try different yoga poses that I've posted in the member photos thread, I figured it would be cool to start a thread where people could post their attempts or even just photos of other people doing asanas (poses) they think are cool/want to try. If nothing else, it will encourage folks to try something new. I'll start by sharing a pose I'm working toward and one that I was super pumped to finally get into.

This is lotus pose. Believe it or not, this motherfucker has eluded me for years. I'm still not sure if it's the torsion in the hip or knee I'm having trouble with, but it just isn't happening yet. Luckily, I have half-lotus to fall back on.

This is the beginning of a scorpion pose. I do much better with it in headstand, but I didn't feel like digging through more photos.

I tried to do the lotus pose one time but couldn't do it either. I don't do yoga or anything so i'm unsure if these are yoga poses or not. The first photo is recent while the last photo i took a few years back. A woman who does yoga mentioned the first pose to me so i mimic it.

They are both yoga! The first is tree pose and the second is wheel pose, though most people just call it a standard back bend. Nice work.
I forgot about this thread. Here's something I did for a challenge last month. [Image: 15036670_10211399942014694_6706875648098...e=58F41F8E]

That's an awfully big roll of duct tape.

You mean the wheel in the back? It's a yoga wheel I made for back bends.

How would seeing me in a back brace inspire anyone?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Retro game references deserve automatic kudos from everyone on AF.

In the "Patriots" photo are you actually sitting on your heel?
