Magic Bali.

It’s been over a year since I struck a Yoga pose, but I couldn’t leave the Yoga capital of the world without doing a class. So I walked into the Yoga Barn in Bali ready to make a fool of myself, but halfway through I received an applause! There’s this pose called crow where you balance on your hands with your knees tucked under your bent arms and your feet off the ground. The teacher saw me do it with ease, so he pointed me out to the entire class. They watched in awe as I jumped from downward dog into this handstand-ish balance position, then into a headstand where I played around with my legs in the air, then folded gracefully back down into crow pose. Ta-da, magic!  The teacher, a Yoga master for 15 years in Bali, told me I have the potential to be a pro yogi in Bali with just 3 years of practice. I’ll think about it.
