Airplane Wings

The practise that requires you to put your hands out like aeroplane wings I haven't properly mastered. I put this down to the fact that our yoga classes are quite packed and in order not to invade someone else's personal space I rarely stretch my arms out as much as I've should. On a Saturday evening when the class is smaller, I find it difficult to do the posture correctly, leading the instructor to remark that the person next to me should "show me how's it's done"!!! (or words to that effect - meant in good humour).

Usually when someone is so close to me than I can count the beads of sweat on their forehead, I wriggle down my mat so my arms won't be touching theirs. Unfortunately I find this effort to be wasted, my neighbour decides after one second into the posture that it is too streneous and collapses into a heap while I have strained myself, my knees grazing against the rough surface of the floor and seeing out the corner of my eye said neighbour torturing me by taking gulps of water. End of rant.
