Mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, I came across a yoga bootcamp. āTransform your life,ā it said, and I thought, why not? What have I got to lose? So far, the skin on the backs of my arms has gone, and I'm Ā£500 lighter.
This is what I'm looking to achieve, the crow.
This is where I am, the total collapse.
They said to expect discomfort, but for us bony knees folk, it's tough on the backs of our arms when trying to balance. And all that falling! You can see where it's going for my nose.
As my new yoga buddies say, āIt's the journey that matters.ā I'm loving the challenge, and if I ever achieve the crow, I'll be boasting all the way to Buttersley and back.
Are there any yoga bunnies out there who have got any tips? I'd ā¤ļø loveā¤ļø to hear from you.
