Spider-Man Demonstrates Yoga Poses Part 2

I've got some more Spider-Man yoga poses to share. I considered using Wonder Woman to do some more poses, but it turns out she's not nearly as flexible as Spidey. She can't even bend her knees, poor thing. I'll keep looking through the toy box. Perhaps Superman can share some moves.



Wow, Spider-Man can do some great splits. I'm very impressed as I've never mastered this, even as a flexible little kid. Tracy Effinger insists you can work up to doing them, but I guess I haven't done her Squeeze workout enough for that.



Unfortunately, the S-Man really sucks at balance, so he had to hang on to one of my lovely white Fiesta mugs for some moves. You may not be able to tell, but in that pic on the left he's holding his left foot behind him with his right hand. When my ankles are in good shape, I can do this easily without mug assistance. I totally kick Spidey's butt on this move. He also had to balance against the mug for that move on the right. However, I don't think I could achieve that move even with something to lean on, so I bow to his greatness on that pose.



Ah, the Shavasana or Corpse pose. This is both the hardest and easiest pose of yoga. Easy because you just lie there like a corpse. Hard because you're supposed to relax and empty your mind or some crazy crap like that. I both love it and loathe it because I totally get the monkey mind and have trouble stopping the brain-rambling. Spider-Man would like to share a post from one of his favorite blogs about this pose.
