snow in April?

The weather has been so crazy this week!  Just when I thought the ski season was over, Stevens Pass got a TON of snow.  It feels more like Christmas than Easter!  Marc and I went up skiing and then hurried back to town so that I could make the last yoga class for the day.  It was an hour Vinyasa class with Jo who thought it would be fun to make us do a ton of sit-ups, ha ha :)  Grueling, but I'll thank her when bikini season comes around!

Before class I practiced coming out of head stand back into crow.  That's the connecting point that I need to master before I can put my sequence together: crow to head stand, back to crow, shoot back to chaturanga.  Man, it takes a lot of strength to lift back up - my arms were exhausted!  After class I mentioned to Jo what I was working on and she said it takes a lot of core strength.  hmm...maybe I'm focused on the wrong muscles.  I was trying to force it with my arms - maybe I need to think about my core instead.  I'll try it tomorrow...for now my arms are noodles.
