We’ve just started with this blog but it seems that we’ve already found out how difficult it is to keep it updated. Real life will not stop for you to grab a cup of coffee and sit longingly in front of your laptop while you think about your next subject to write on. I’m personally writing this after a normal 10 hour work day and I know for a fact that Shani is still working…My eyes are droopy and all I want to do is sit on the sofa to watch some tv…
However, this is really why I wanted to start this blog in the first place. It’s amazing to see all these blogs with the perfect pictures and cute, inspiring writings but sometimes, I miss imperfection. Let me see the pile of dishes next to your food pics, let me see the un-photoshopped tummy fat on your bikini pics, please tell me how you horribly sick you got on that last vacation…
So this is what Shani and I intend to do..we’re really going to show you just how things can miserably fail but also hopefully, how we can just do anything…if we set our minds to it =).
Right, Shani?
So the first challenge of the year will be…drumroll pllleeeaase….
Shani and I are going to each choose 2 yoga poses ( yes, 2-double the fun, I say!) that we will have to perfectly(-ish) master within three months from now. For this challenge, I have chosen the Fallen Angel (in Sanskrit: Devaduuta Panna Asana) and the Forearm Stand (in Sanskrit, the Pincha Mayurasana)
Yes! Think about all those perfect yoga poses you see on Instagram… but how do you get there? My arms have no strength at all and I often suspect my biceps to be made of pudding, so doing push-ups is already a huge challenge for me. As just copying those poses is no option, I’ll start the search for a “how to”-guide amongst yoga books and the endless knowledge of Google.

Luckily (with a true yoga mindset) I believe the path towards your goal is the most important. Expect to get a lot of details on our paths – fingers crossed we’ll succeed at one point. My poses for 2016 will be Forearm stand and Handstand Backbend. I agree, a tough one, but I never believed in setting low (read: reasonable) goals. Step 1: master those push-ups.
