100 pushups in tight form, no problem. Backbends, check. Straddle to Press Handstand (a beginner move for gymnasts, mind you)... Oh. My. God.
When I first started my yoga practice, I remember the feeling of testing muscles that had literally never been used before, and thinking with awe and wonder: Oh, my body can do that? How cool!
Well, gymnastics is the new frontier for my body. And for someone who felt they had decent core strength coming into the practice, I have been (again) humbled.
Stay tuned for progress reports. And to try on your own, check out the Parallettes Training Guide on PanYoga.com
