Day 103: Power Yoga

Holy crap. I've been doing "regular" yoga for a while, but power yoga is a whole different animal. Rodney Yee, who led the workout, is a maniac. Swan dive to standing forward bend! Bounce back to downward-facing dog! Now jump to push-up position! He's like a crazy cartoon character who never just steps or walks when he can jump or bounce. I was able, sometimes just barely, to follow most of the routine, but I tried three times and just cannot do upward bow pose. I've never been able to do back-bends like that--something about them scares me and makes me feel like my spine is going to snap. I've never been able to do cartwheels either. Anyway, it was a good workout, I've definitely never sweated so profusely with any other yoga routine, and my legs are really feeling the after-effects of holding "Warrior II" for like 3 minutes at a time. Sheesh!
