Day 81 (Yoga) Getting better and better...

Completed Yoga on Sunday.  It is always a drag to see I'm going to be doing any workout for 90 minutes, but it goes by VERY fast once I start.  I'm continuing to improve.  I completed prayer twist on my first side without a wobble.  The second side wasn't so hot.  Warrior 3 on my first side completed without a wobble and I kept my back leg up through the subsequent moves.  I've found I can keep my balance better if I move my back leg one way or the other in half moon and twisting half moon.  I still use a modified Yoga block during those moves but I found I can twist my body more by focusing on pushing my chest out.  That pushes my high hand more around instead of collapsing in.  Not sure if that makes sense.

For the balance postures, I stayed in tree on both sides.  Royal Dancer seems to be getting harder for some reason...maybe because I am working harder at everything before it.  Leg extensions are getting easier.
