15 Arm balances for 2015

A few years back, I think in  2009 or 2010, I started a  10 backbends for 2010  at the first advanced practice of the year.  Devon is  doing it this year  16 backbends for  2016,  so  a few  days about I thought it would be fun to end each  year  with  arm balances,  so  here's the first of what hopefully will be a long tradition of yoga fun in Austin  15  backbends for   2015  and a  kurmasana  thrown into the mix!
