Edgemont high school waiting for teachers for a yoga class today. Thought I would practice a headstand in the middle of the gymnasium.

My own high school experience, I was not the gym type, I was more I theatre rat. So 35 years later here I am… Life is funny!

If so, see if you can bring your knuckles close to the wall and then bring your hips to the wall and watch the legs flowed up like magic!

#3 Slow and steady wins the race.
