Standing Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose | Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana Yoga Illustration

Each time I revisit Standing Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose I get a little closer to and then a little further away from a successful Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, and that is why I love to practice the Posture. πŸͺžThe human experience is mirrored in every yoga class - illustrations and illuminations by Astrid Parker Kirschenbaum.

We always imagine there will come that moment when the kit and caboodle is tied up in a pretty little bow πŸŽ€ and THEN we will enjoy ourselves, let loose, take a load off. That day of completion is not coming and, therefore, it is NOW that we must live, laugh and love regardless of our struggles, stresses and oddities. Spend time with the very young and very old for this lesson in the flesh. 

I botched a trip this month by booking the wrong weekend and am therefore missing the event (wedding) I am traveling across the country for, but I have this spontaneous feeling that something special will come of the embarrassing and irreversible blunder, so I am making the voyage regardless. πŸͺ©
