The poses we like are as tricky as the poses we hate– they both get…
“Not Correct” #tourof2nd #bakasana Rolf poked me in the tummy and said “not strong” — then I was to pike to handstand and land bakasana. Because i needed strength. It was prescriptive for me.

“Sex Sells” #tourof2nd About three years ago, my dear friend @suenodevida_ecu me to do some nude modeling with her for an exhibit. This was done by Lamine http://LHARTEK.com in the renaissance style.
