I kicked my Yoga instructor..

...accidentally.. of course...

During yesterday's yoga class, one of the stance that we did was the handstands. Inversions are supposed to help bloodflow to the brain, helps you become smarter (not) ;). I've done shoulder stands endlessly but never done a handstand.

So when my instructor offered to help me into the pose, I gleefully said yes.

I get into my fours, perpendicular to the wall, my hands very near the wall. Then I put my head down onto the floor, my hands supporting my head. and what I am supposed to do, is to kick my legs up and throw it to lean against the wall, and my instructor will be right beside me, holding my hips steady.

And kick I did, with the wrong foot. My instructor was watching out for the other foot.. so the wrong foot went flying landing into her eye socket.. ouch..

It shocked her, although later she assured me that it did not hurt. I'm so filled with remorse..

I am very very sorry, Sam.. you can torture me for the next 4 weeks, as you much as you want..

Eh...Handstand, I have not tried that yet. Maybe after next year I'll have to give it a try....

Is that the same instructor that we had the last time?? If so...I don't think I want to be torture by her at all...
