Destination yoga combines yoga with a vacation, a gathering of like-minded individuals, and a chance to expand our yoga horizons through community and intensive study. Destination yoga is coming soon to a location far away from you... Yoga Retreats Most people take a vacation to get away from it all, but students of yoga are increasingly using their hard-earned holidays to deepen their yoga practices by combining travel to exotic places with intensive yoga programs.

I used to have a teacher who taught this all the time and I got pretty good at balancing on that knife's edge, but it's been awhile and I was wobbling all over the mat. I love that it's easier for me to do crow at the moment than to lie down on my side. Just goes to show the value of practicing a pose regularly.
