My First Yoga Injury!

I was in yoga class last night and it was time to do the crow. I have never been able to do this pose and had just given up on it. I hadn't even been practicing it. But for whatever the reason, I somehow found myself balancing on both hands for the first time. I held it for a little bit...but then probably held it for too long, because suddenly I fell.

I was worried about hurting my wrists, but they were OK...however, this morning I found the strangest bruise on the side and ball of my foot! I never considered you could bruise there.

I am fine but next time won't hold the crow too long until I get stronger in the pose.
