Happy International Yoga Day 2019! This day a year ago, I took a photo of myself attempting a scorpion forearm stand (honestly I don’t remember why I chose the posture. 😆). I think it’s been an asana challenge for me for backhanding poses. To keep in line with what I did before, here we go again, this is my current attempt for the scorpion forearm stand. It’s still a long way to go. You can keep swiping to the right and see how I prepared myself for this after a few backhanding training sessions with @micah.walters.movement at the @cirqueschool. Then I’m throwing in a hollow back and a handstand which is one of my favorite things to do. Why not? Right? It’s the International Yoga Day after all.

Sometimes it can be very hard for me to find what I want to say on IG. Then I looked back at what I did over the past week and I thought what challenged me the most was the backbend training. It’s still a work in progress. It’s still a journey. I want to thank all my teachers past and present who instill the discipline in me because without it, there is no way I could find any improvement in my practice—yoga and chemistry alike. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜 . . . . . #backbend #acrobatictraining #crescentmoonpose #anjaneyasan #yogalifestyle #yogastrong #yogafun #yogafit #yogamen #yogabody #yogajourney #health #selfcare #fitness #LA #workshop #โยคะ #โยคะท่ายาก #โยคะฟิต #ฉันรักโยคะ #สุขภาพ #ชุดเล่นโยคะ #โยคะวันละนิด (at Hollywood Boulevard) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByyxANtHGQ0/?igshid=qraaxnn52k14

So inspired by many people I met at the recent #virlini2019 and others in the past who are dedicated to and work so hard in their practice, I decided it was time for me to start an acrobatic training to get deeper and improve my backhanding asanas safely with proper form and alignment, especially after my back injury years ago that left me with a chronic back pain until I found yoga. So fortunate to have @micah.walters.movement here in LA and be able to work with him. Here are the pics and vid from my first session with Micah focusing on backhanding exercises and drills at the @cirqueschool. I didn’t move as much but was sure to sweat a lot. 😆 More importantly, I started to learn how to engage my back muscles properly. 🙏🏻 Micah. . . . . . #backbend #acrobatictraining #cobrapose #bhujangasana #bowpose #dhanurasana #crescentmoonpose #anjaneyasana #yogalifestyle #yogafun #yogafit #yogamen #yogabody #yogajourney #health #fitness #LA #โยคะ #โยคะท่ายาก #โยคะฟิต #ฉันรักโยคะ #สุขภาพ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxzuQwqnhta/?igshid=hy8nju2ocfds

So this is what I have been working on for the last four weeks with my personal trainer. I have seriously put my blood, sweat and tears in perfecting this acrobatic technique and it took so many takes but I think I did pretty well tonight. I have come so far and still have a way to go to perfect it some more but hey that's why you have goals in the first place! Really proud of my progress. Thank you Abram @fitnessabram for being so patient and continuing to push me! #artytheatrical #acrobat #acrobatictraining #gym #personaltraining #fitness #goals #newperspective #happy #tonedlegs
