Headstands
I was trying to explain to Chu today about the side effects I'm currently experiencing. I've used to word dizzy because it's the closest I can think of - but it's not really dizzy in a sort of fainty way. It's almost like the body is travelling at a different speed to the mind - when moving (fast) they go out of sync. It might not make any sense as a description, but it's the best one I can come up with.
The whole thing can get really depressing like on Saturday, but it can also be ignored like on Sunday and just live a normal life. Today I tried to ignore it and went to an advanced flow class. Maybe it was the dizzyness - but my balance was all over the place. It's still a struggle, especially with the poses with balancing on the arms - I can't do them, but I'm not sure what to do instead. And I haven't quite given up on trying them out.
On the good side, I'm loving headstands - my tripod headstand is rocking (well, for my headstand anyway) and I'm starting to get the hang of the finishing series headstand too, with Jason correcting me today and showing me how to do it better with hands cupped and leaning my hands on them. So good feeling about progressing at least with those.
