Yoga for Recovery 9.05.09

Just flew in from 6 days in Chicago. All day travelling I tried to wrap my head around what I wanted to teach this evening; nothing was jumping out. I asked peeps 'what would you like to play with tonight?'. Headstand!

I was grateful for the suggestion. I had two with neck mischief so I was glad to practice with out the head on the floor in Kira's class so I riffed off of that. 

Ended up being a class about courage and willingness. Headstand can be scary.
