SUPsirsasanaMy most excellent Iyengar yoga instructor Lucienne warned me that this would be difficult (bad difficult).   SURELY (I thought)…SURELY if I go on extra-flat water I can manage a headstand.  Sirsasana.  SUP Sirsasana!

With the Mrs. positioned with iPhone I proceeded to wobble and fall and wobble and fall…and the directions you fall in on the water are not the ones you fall in on a yoga mat.   Finally I got up…held it for about two seconds before crashing down, banging one knee on the board, at which point I declared the operation "a bad idea" and got off the water.
