Good morning everybody, I have already shoulder stood today, have you?
Thus far I have managed to do a shoulder stand each day this week. I am aiming for a perfect seven out of seven score!
@soul I super loved the picture of the frog. I think we have only done shoulder stand once in our class too, soul. Like you, we've done legs-up-the-wall a lot. I don't go into plough pose first either. However, when I saw the video, I thought it would be cool to use that one and then maybe do plough pose next week when everyone has already had a chance to acquaint themselves with it. What do you think of that idea, soul?
@Adge your description of Jelly puss "helping" you with your shoulder stand super made me giggle.
Yes, I super like the image of the Phoenix too (obviously). Sometimes when I am in a gigantic muddle, puddle, cofuddle, I simply stand in the middle of my lounge room and say aloud "I am Phoenix Rising." Somehow I find that strangely soothing.
How are you going with yoga-ing this week @Former-Member? I have been following along with your story and I understand that today is a super big day in your world. I am thinking about you right now. 
@TheVorticon that is really interesting that you said you've been doing shoulder stands without knowing you've been doing shoulder stands. I am curious to know in what context you have been doing them (only if you want to share). I was talking to my turtle whisperer just yesterday about how I naturally move a lot and that since starting yoga, I've discovered that things I've just always regularly done (like shoulder stands and plough pose) actually have names in yoga world. I always thought everyone just moved like that all the time. 
Ok, well I will be continuing to shoulder stand each day this week. I super hope you will too.
Happy yoga-ing.
