Boojangasana

(by Marya) Cobra has to be one of my favorite poses recently. As I've grown more open in my back and upper body it has become easier and more comfortable. I often choose to do it instead of Up Dog - I think because it feels more grounding.
Tonight on my way to teach a yoga class I accidentally hit my elbow on the car (one of those chasing kids not really watching where I was going things). I didn't hit my funny bone, although either way it wasn't funny. It hurt a little but I was doing fine in class demonstrating and moving. Then we did (or didn't in my case) bhujangasana. I couldn't do it! My new bump/bruise was apparently in the non-cobra-doing spot of my arm. What a bummer! Is my body trying to tell me something? Maybe, slow down and stop chasing?
