In the eight years I’ve been doing yoga, it’s the first time I’ve managed a freestanding headstand.  Not that I’ve been trying to all those years — not every instructor leads the class through headstands,and every time I did try it in class, it was extremely uncomfortable and I failed.  So it’s not like I sat around at home trying to stand on my head. 

But this time?  Easy as pie.  And it felt awesome.
