Tonight I took a class at Yoga Nine that I loved. The focus was core strengthening so it was a bit challenging at times. We also did some hip opening positions such as pigeon, which is always hard for me because I am not flexible in my hips and have weak ankles, but I was content in that position.

The end of class was the best because we worked on inversions such as head stands and hand stands which are my favorite. Laurie taught us the correct positioning of our hands, chest, neck and ribs which made it easier to do. Shivasana felt extra good at the end because we had just worked really hard throughout the class. To finally come to stillness after intense focus and movement is a rewarding feeling. This was definitely one of the better classes I've attended.
