Forearm Stand

This is my favourite pose for all time. It's forearm stand and I just learned it when I was in college. It took me about 6 months without fully practicing everyday to balance myself in this pose. And finally I could touch my head with my toes already now. Doing this pose is not really that easy because you should have strength in your arm, so I learned headstand first before I learn this pose. When you do forearm stand, you need your back strength and flexibility. So whenever I do forearm stand, usually I warming up my back first (well, you should warm up actually).

Here are my forearm stand journey. (Sorry for the bad quality on some photos)


Try to balance your headstand first before you try forearm stand.
Don't afraid to fall when you learn headstand. I do fall a couple times but just make sure that there's pillow behind you.


I took this photo by self-timer because I wanted to see how far I can go with my forearm stand.
I use my bed to make me balance but it only last for a seconds.


This was the very first time I tried forearm stand without anything behind me.
I fell to the pool after that tho.


This picture was taken last year on my trip to Bali. I still fell after that but I could manage myself to fall into bridge pose so it didn't hurt at all.


My favourite photos of all. Taken when I attended 5K Color Run.


 And finally I can touch my head with my feet now. Somehow I feel proud to myself that I finally can reach my target. Sharing this post actually because I want you to know that even you can do this. All you have to do is make a target so you have a motivation to practice. I hope this post inspiring you to exercise more because being healthy is a must !

Yoga Journey

It's been a while since I updated my blog now and I still can't figure out how to use it properly, lol. Anyway, apart for sharing about my fashion life, I also wanna share the one that bring the most impact to my life, yoga.

I think I started to learn yoga when I was in 10th grade. The thing is, I'm a type of a person who get bored so quickly. I did excited to do most of activities but later I got bored and stopped. I have tried a lot of things like wushu, aikido, muay thai, horse-riding, badminton and even swimming, but it all stopped. Nothing but yoga grew on me. It just became a different thing for my lifestyle. I do feel lazy to do yoga sometimes but in the end I still do it even though it just warming up in my room.

Since I've learned ballet before, my body wasn't really stiff and I already have a little bit flexibility
thing on me. So when I started yoga, I could follow up the flow quickly. But yoga is not that easy as I think. It took my body to the next level. I'm trying to learn my limits and keep practicing to push that limits. It not just about flexibility but also strength and balance. For me strength is the hardest one. I always shake a lot whenever the yoga poses is about the strength of my body.

Well, Yoga is a process tho. Doing yoga make yourself know how far your limit is. When you repeat the practice over and over again, somehow you started to push that limit. When I looked back to my yoga journey, It brings joy to me that I finally can push that limit and trying something new after that. Since I can balanced myself when I do forearm stand, I go to my next target, handstand. Wish me luck !
