Just so happened that I had three backbend classes Just so happened that I had three backbend classes in two days and managed to touch chest to wall during @mastersaumik Spine and Traction class on Zoom And still the knees and heels are all over the place. #backbend #backbending #sgyoga #sgyogi #sgyoginis
I didn't fall off the grid. I was waiting to share I didn't fall off the grid. I was waiting to share some good news with you. But it's been too long and the news wasn't bad to begin with. Just after Christmas, on the 29th, I managed to kickback from the floor. But the skill was camera shy and was not captured. Luckily my classmates witnessed it, otherwise who knows if it really happened? I've been waiting ever since to replicate the skill… WITHOUT SUCCESS. Who knows why? The first time I did it, it was totally unexpected, but it felt fairly easy. I was using new method that I coach told me to try. Which was to work on my technique instead of relying on my "flexibility" which would not be sufficient to bring me over without props (layers). On the same day, I managed to repeat it maybe once or twice. But I've had no luck since then. So bemusement turns into impatience and right about now, it's turning into murderous frustration. Now to take deep breath, just to document that this is where I am, it is what it is (what is it even?), to suck it up, and carry on. #gymnasticskills #backwalkover #backbends #backbendpractice
T’is the season to do more than just gymnastics, T’is the season to do more than just gymnastics, yoga and cali. I made my first wreath ever. Thanks to @gerikin for organising and @leaveroomformagic for the workshop. Also caught up with @aq_pigio and @altreality over drinks and baking.

Most weeks are busy but some days are thankfully quiet. Today is all about making things: masks, ice-cream, paint, dot cards, timelapse videos, you name it. #makersgonnamake #sgig #iphonography #shotoniphone #iphoneonly

Quiet Monday afternoon. Not as stable as I used to Quiet Monday afternoon. Not as stable as I used to be in #urdhvamukhapaschimottanasana #yogasingapore #yogapractice #yogaeverydamnday #sgyogi #forwardfold
Believe it or not, this was a good day last week ( Believe it or not, this was a good day last week (?) I allowed myself to progress to one layer after succeeding on two. Two days later, I failed on two layers. And today, I failed at four layers (more layers = easier). I didn’t even manage to kick over from forearm wheel, not even on my good leg! 😱 Just #keepingitreal cos #nobodypostsfailures on Instagram. Is there a bright side to this story? I guess, it’s the fact that before I started back bending, I could not even do a forearm wheel, and I started with six layers before I could kick over. #gymnasticskills #backwalkover #nobodypoststheirfailures #backbends #backbendpractice
