P90X: Day 18 - Yoga X

Yoga X

The third week of Yoga X was more intense than the prior. It seems as though each week I get more comfortable and more flexible. This increase in comfort and flexibility leads me to push myself harder and farther than the previous week. My technique for Yoga X is bordering on perfection. My downward dog has developed into a work of art where my heals are almost on the ground and I can maintain the pose for quite a long time. The main thing you can do whilest in the hardest positions known to man and woman is just remember to breathe. It will burn, it will hurt, but you 'breathe, and breath some more'.

My thoughts: I thought today was excellent in terms of my effort put forth in the Yoga X workout. I did not do the Ohm's at the end of the DVD, so it was cut a few minutes short of an hour and a half. I am getting better at balancing on my hands, my warrior 1, 2, 3, and reverse warrior are beginning to show promise as a strong yoga x pose. My flexibility, almost able to palm the ground with my feet together and my legs straight, is showing through.

Have you ever done downward dog?
