40 Days of Yoga Update

Today I am on day 23 of my 40 Days in a row of Yoga.  First I want to say that I am very proud of myself for sticking with this goal.  This would be an easy one to stop doing, especially on busy days.  However,  I am proud to say that I have stuck with this and here is what has changed with my body over the past 23 days: 

1.  I can almost touch my toes without having to bend my knees.  I am much further along in this process than I ever have been. 
2.  I have had pain in my right shoulder for the last 5 years.  I can feel my shoulder starting to relax a little.  It has been so stiff for years and it is slowly letting go.
3.  I can hold a crow pose for 5 seconds.  Before doing this challenge, I could not lift off the ground
4.  I can do a backbend for 5-10 seconds.
5.  I am learning to truly appreciate the art of yoga.  Before doing this challenge, I just wanted to hurry and get yoga out of the way for the day.  Now I am starting to feel how good it feels when your body transforms into being stronger.  I have a long way to go, but this is such a good start.
