Pride and Falling

I was so excited about having done a headstand in partner yoga that I thought, “I’ll just practice, and next class I’ll do it all by myself.”
Sometimes, I amaze myself with my ability to hurt in new and interesting ways. I sprained the TOP of my ankle. I didn’t know you could do that. Here’s how:
1. Try a headstand.
2. Fail at attaining a headstand.
3. When you fall, be sure to land really hard on the ball of your foot causing your toes to attempt to kick your own shin.
And there you have it, one sprained top of ankle.

Sounds like something I would do. Congratulations on achieving a handstand once! I still have yet to do that...

I hope your ankle gets better soon!
