@Wendy: ditto, but if you can balance on your hands you can kick your feet up against a wall to start-that's what I do. I can only do one easily in the water!

I cannot do a handstand but seeing these women rock this particular with such grace inspires me to try

I'm just learning the big toe bow. Haven't been able to reach my feet as yet. Lol. This article is an inspiration for me to continue yoga.

Typo class

@Beryl Stokes because once you start yoga and you body becomes supple you can't help but challenge your body and also it feels so strong that you don't care how much it contorts and I love doing the bows very good for conditioning the spine. It makes you feel strong maybe you should join a clan one of these days beryl you could be pleasantly surprised!

Superb I love it ♥

Not being funny but why on earth does anyone want o contort themselves into these positions ? Can someone explain please ?

Love it, I'm so inspired!

Talk about challenging! These are gymnast worthy moves!
