Loose hips, light heart

[clevermanka]

I know, I know, so much talking about hip mobility. But it's so important, y'all! So. Important. I have noticed an enormous improvement in mobility (especially on my right side) since I started my Internal Campaign Against Constant Anger. Pretty amazing. Next time mckitterick is home when I do my Hanumanasana progression, I'll have him get a photo of me in the final pose.

Yesterday I thought I put up a private post/placemarker for an entry I want to write about how I made myself into a badass. The privacy marker didn't take, though, so some of you got a little preview for an upcoming Thinky Post. Basically it boils down to we all have the capacity to be badasses and it's never too late to make yourself into the person you want to be. It's fun to read about other people's positive life experiences, though, so I'll relate the story of how I made myself into the person I wanted to be and how I haven't stopped because we can always get more amazing, and why stop when you're good if you can be great!

It is Friday and despite being the only secretary here today and the copier is broken and I'm still not quite caught up from being gone for a week, I am in a good place.

Hip mobility is crazy important! I am going to try working with that sequence, even though I won't be able to get the final pose for a while, probably.

I got my heels on the ground in down dog this past Tuesday. MAJOR accomplishment! All my down dogs are dedicated to Tiri. She really had mastery of that asana.

Heels down is a HUGE accomplishment! Go you!

Bless Tiri for her inspiration.
And hey.. when you wanna go dip in the salt water pool?

I'm always amazed at how many of us bellydancers have tight hips.

I've been in such a good mood today that I didn't realize I'm fifteen minutes late to go to lunch! WHOOPS! Off now!

Lj is so weird, please do the badass post because I found a badass gif/meme once and loved it but now I can't find it.

I'm totally going to do that sequence, thank you for posting it! My best memories of fall in high school are not being able to do the splits after summer and after a couple weeks sliding comfortably into it via practice. I need to be able to do that again.
