It was scary and it still was but it’s when we succed at trying those things that scare us where we get the biggest satisfaction, non? Thanks for the wonderful support!

Congratulations! Accepting your defeat then reaching out to a new friend and succeeding that is a pattern we can all take “off the mat and into the world.”

Ha – I’ve done decent headstands for years now, but always at the wall – even if I don’t touch the wall. I’m trying to wean myself away, so now I set up a foot or two away from the wall. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to do one in the middle of the room – good for you!

I couldn’t do a headstand for the longest time and then with patience and practice, I finally got it, just like you. A year or two later, it seems like a piece of cake (maybe I’m a little hungry after the last blog I read). Seriously though, everyone is trying to advance their yoga practice and the easiest way to do that, is to first, accept where you are. Once you can do that without judgement, then the resistance to moving forward fades away. Awesome job!!!!

Hahaha… this is what happens to me when i try the handstand… and it’s not my first or second try! When I first started yoga, I was so concerned with doing things the right way. But now i’ve learned that we just need to listen to our bodies and do things on our own time. I loved reading about your takeaway lesson… thanks for sharing!
