Just chatting
Hi all - not much to say just hi . All the threads have hundreds unread I don't know where to join in anywhere

Since I'm always talking about the BYU girls and their commitment to chastity and modest dress (cover shoulders and upper arms, skirts to the knee) I was pleased to find this photo of Anna Camp eschewing the dress guidelines to put it out there a little on national (US, that is) TV:
Some of the male Cougar alums did pretty well in the Chicago marathon over the weekend, too.

I've been doing a lot of half pigeon and figure 4, lately.

WriterAlexis What are your favorite poses?
Savasana!
Pigeon pose is fantastic... it allowed me to live a semi-normal life. It was my nemesis for the first couple of years, but it was the only thing that worked for a nerve issue I had when I was younger. So with that in mind, I would have to say Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (One-Legged King Pigeon Pose) is one of my favourites now because it shows how far a body can be pushed to overcome adversity.
Also, handstands, just because it's fun being upside down.
I think I like the collapsed pigeon poses better than the upright ones.
I don't do any handstands, but I do shoulder stand and plough.

They're much more relaxing! It can be quite taxing mentally though... Sometimes it's difficult to let go when your body is screaming at you.

They're great for flexion (but potentially dangerous). I find handstands really liberating. It's hard to develop the shoulder strength at first, but once you do it feels almost weightless when you get it right. I struggled for ages and then it just clicked one day.
