Class 7: Life twists and turns. See failures as evidence that you tried something. "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." ~ Michael Jordan. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." ~ Winston Churchill. Physically, we will focus on opening and strengthening arms/shoulders, hips, hammies, and twists for Headstand 2 (Sirsasana 2) and Astavakrasana. Have two blocks available.
