So, I did an earth class last night, and when we got to the part where we were to do Crow, I thought, 'Oh great, here's where I sit and look like an idiot who can't do the pose.' But I decided to give it everything I had, and I was able to get in the pose and stay there for a couple seconds!
The last time I tried this, I kept falling, couldn't get up at all, and ended up crying in the final savasana from frustration. I still have a way to go, but I was pretty happy with myself. I will keep trying and hope that I can get stronger and have more success.
The instructor of the class, Stephanie, was wonderfully encouraging and I think that had a ton to do with it.
