Taking it to 11 with Pigeon

YHC looked forward to pushing things a bit with the workout – ‘cause that’s just what we do, right?  Right!  Here’s how:

Savasana/Devotional
Prelim:
Cat/Cow – 5B
Plank > Up Dog > Down Dog – WALK THE DOG > into Sun Salutation In Cadence 2X fully through, then 2X OYO  Meet in Mountain.

The Main Thang:
High Lunge
Low Lunge, then add Quad stretch (not sure what the fancy name is)
Sun Salutations 2X OYO, Meet in Mountain
REPEAT 1&2 stepping up with LEFT foot
DEAD PIGEON: Hold for 10B, Flapjack 10B
Sun Salutations 2X OYO, meet in Mountain
PIGEON (modified) or DEER (both legs bent)
HOLD 10B > Sun Salutations 2X OYO
REPEATO Right Knee forward 10B
Double Pigeon (Firelog) 10B > FLAPJACK 10B
Reclining Bound Angle Pose while we revisit devotional message

Announcements:
You can get a decent Yoga block at Amazon for less than 10 bucks.  Here’s a link, but there are other options.  Wally probably has some, too.  It’s about the same price as a super double mocha Frappuccino, but oh, so much better for you, so don’t put it off; just get it and start bringing it.

High Tide will be rolling out the ________ (insert macho-sounding Gumby-friendly word to replace “downpainment”) next week. Music will no doubt be first rate.

Moleskin:
Pigeon is my Everest.  I’ve gotten better, but I’m still only at the first base camp.  I hope the added challenge of this more advanced pose was fun to try and helpful.
Apologies for the music fail.  I liked the new album on Prime, but didn’t know it was so short.
Thanks for posting, gents.  I appreciate the opportunity to lead.

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
– Psalm 118:24
