At 34, I sometimes feel like an old fogey in my yoga practice. To be fair, I’m absolutely a little bit of the old-fashioned type and I’m definitely kind of old soul-ish. And I think the term fancy yoga poses can surely be relative. When I say fancy yoga poses I generally mean most inversions like handstand and headstand, as well as basically all arm balances, and we can also go ahead and throw in poses that require excess flexibility too. Yet these are the poses that people are Instagramming. These are the postures that people are rocking out in Facebook profile pictures. (I guiltily hang my head at that one.) And there’s a reason for that—they can be fun to practice and fun to look at.
