Inversion Not Aversion

I went to a new yoga class yesterday.

It was great, until she said "Who is going to invert with me?"

I thought she was talking shoulder stand, back bends, etc. and I don't do those.

Oh, no, she was pointing to these ropes on the wall.

One lady, went right over and climbed the wall and hung upside down.

Oh, I don't know. I'm thinking it's not for me.

The guy gets into it.

Next lady.

And next.

And the instructor looks at me. Sure you can.

W-e-l-l, I can try. The whole time I'm thinking there is no way I'll get my hips to go anywhere, since they are the heaviest part of me...

but I did it!

I'm second from the right in the red top.

It wasn't as bad as I thought, but looking at it now gives me the shivers.....
