I have been trying to do the beginning of dancer pose for MONTHS! For those of you who don't know yoga, the beginning phase requires you to stand on one foot, reach back, and grasp your heel, (which is bent up towards your butt). I have been what felt like MILES away from being able to reach my heel for MONTHS.
So today I went to do the pose - I TOUCHED MY HEEL!!!! Can't QUITE grasp it yet, but I TOUCHED IT!!! WOOOOHOO!!!!

I am beyond thrilled! I NEVER thought I'd see this far in the pose! :D I may not be completely there, but this is a MAJOR Deal to me. :D

Just goes to show - I thought I was making NO progress AT ALL....and look at me now!!!
WOOHOO! :)

Moral of the story - Don't give up! Just cause you can't SEE the changes right away Does NOT mean they're not there!!!

If you're curious, here's the full pose. I'm still at step 2! LOL I'll get there!! :D
