    It’s almost 11 months now that I’ve been practicing yoga. This pose, marichyasana I, has been my thorn. It’s the one pose that I’ve been trying and trying to do, yet couldn’t.

    But here’s the thing about yoga, if you try hard enough, one day you can do it. On Sunday I bought the November issue of Yoga Journal, this pose was inside — in fact if you click on the photo you can read all about how to do this pose. You know, in case you want to try it right there in your homes. Or the office. I won’t tell.

    Anyhow, I turned to my husband and said, “This is the pose that I need to do. Once I can do this pose I’ll be happy.”

    On Tuesday night I did this pose. Okay, so it was only on the left side and it did not look at all this pretty. When my hands touched behind my back I was so surprised! I may be the only yoga student to ever shout out during class: awesome!

    I guess that means that now I’m happy.
