    I am there with you on the feet – from my ankles to the sides of the feet, they ache like I am wearing figure skates or really REALLY tight shoes…
    My feet just cramp, and instead of taking water after eagle, I just kneel on my hands and feet and let my feet relax, which allows me to have a stronger standing series.
    My instructor said it was from wearing heels – I don’t wear a huge heel for the most part, but regularly wear two inches.
    Wish there was a quick exercise for this, but expect that I have done years of damage, and will take the same to heal – particularly if I keep wearing them – which I do…

    in reply to: Your very first class ever #4100

    All I can remember from my first class was that by the end of Pranayama breathing I was sure I couldn’t raise my arms again… then came half moon, then came awkward – I thought my arms were going to fall off sinceI could no longer feel them. But I was so determined that I just went with it – ‘whatever’ I thought – if they fall off what do I really need arms for anyways??
    Oh yeah, and there was no way that I was ever going to lift my foot for that long in standing forehead to knee. Luckily no one in the class at the time actually did the ‘forehead to knee’ part, or I probably would have thought ‘this is $%&#ed;!’ and left. Funny – it is my favorite pose now (this month!).
