drsloomis Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 My son and I have gotten into a bit of a friendly competition centered on getting pictures of us doing crow pose in unusual places. Here are a few:[ATTACH=CONFIG]5176[/ATTACH]Son at the airport[ATTACH=CONFIG]5177[/ATTACH]Each of us on playground equipment[ATTACH=CONFIG]5178[/ATTACH]Me on the mall escalatorOur form isn't always the greatest, but it's fun to be constantly looking for places to pose, as well as a little extra incentive to work out. Even my daughters have gotten into it, doing full king dancer at the grocery store last night.So here's the challenge:Post your best pic of you doing a yoga or bodyweight pose (like elbow levers) in an unusual place--the more creative the better (my current goal is crow pose on a police car!). Two rules: 1) keep it safe, and 2) keep it legal. Quote drsloomis: level 5 human assassin STR: 15 | DEX: 17 | CON: 12 | STA: 12 | WIS: 14 | CHA: 8 Current Challenge Link to comment
Relic Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 HAHAH! This is awesome! I will do this as soon as I can.I don't really have many poses up my sleeve.Handstand, tuck planch, or maybe learn something new...(Oh, and the police car goal...possibly not exactly legal if you do it without permission) Quote To find piece with myselfI must first find a piece of myself Link to comment

Rivanariko Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I need to start working crow pose into my routine just so that I can join in on this. Wonder if I can manage crow pose on top of my horse by the end of six weeks... Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that leads to total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." -Frank Herbert, Dune Link to comment

leadchipmunk Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm just posting here for 2 reasons. One, to subscribe and keep up to date on it. And two, I'm going to try to crow a cop car tomorrow night. I get a lot of police come by my work and we're on pretty good terms, so I'm going to see if one comes by (depending on who it is) if they'll let me do it. I'm trying to keep it legal, for the first few attempts anyway.

And there is no way I'd even attempt on the top of a benchI am going to make another attempt this weekend when I haven't just fatigued myself and I'm not all sweaty. I've never face planted on the ground. I did face plant once on Pike's Peak but I don't have the photo from there anymore. I was up on a rock and overbalanced.

It looks like if you fall , it would be a very long fall.It looks that way, but no, it's a gentle slope. Although it's the first crow pose I did on gravel.
