The Circus Came to the YMCA…

I held scorpion for 5 (albeit fast) breaths! And I have photographic evidence. Wheee! Note the extreme purple color of my face though – that’s how hard I was working to hold that sucker:)

I would also like to introduce my best gym buddies Allison (left) & Candice (right), doing full-lotus headstand (You rock, girls!!!!):

    (I’m starting a new Ashtanga class in two weeks, and I’m a little nervous. I’ll just look at those photos for inspiration!)

  4. Awesome, Charlotte! Congrats!

  6. how long did it take you to get there?

  7. To get where? To doing Scorpion? I'm not sure- I've been doing Yoga for years but it was probably just in the last year I started really working on this pose.
