Downdog: Heels Almost To Ground!
I hate my hamstrings. Oh, I know, I should love all those parts of my body that frustrate me, but I can’t find much love for my very very tight hamstrings. There is hope though…after years of hard work, I can finally see that a day might exist sometime in the future (perhaps far, but still a possible future!) where my heels might actually hit the floor in downward facing dog.
They are actually almost there. Just an inch, maybe even less. But they have been kind of stuck in this netherworld for a few weeks now. Teasing me. Saying: Yes, you do have the possibility of touching the floor, but we’re not going to give it to you…just yet. Almost! But not quite! I can even kind of hit the floor if I do one foot at a time!
I’m hoping they’ll just pop soon and go PLUNK down on the ground! Wow! A miracle! A yoga miracle!
Patience, Grasshopper, I know!
