RE: Yoga Bites- Inversions can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression

in #yoga7 years ago

Learning headstands is on my 30 before 30 list! I was building strength a few months back, and was doing yoga about 5 times a week, but I've had about two months off now, and I'm so ready to get back into it and get the headstand down!

Sort:  

you can do it!! especially if you were going 5 days a week... just come back to the mat and practice every day​ trying to do something little like tripod headstand by the wall, this will make you feel more comfortable about being upsidedown.... i bet that you can already do headstand but the upsidedown feeling is what might be that mental block.... its always a mental block lol in time you will feel so normal being in tripod (and im talkng about the variation where your knees are on your elbows) dont even worry about legs in the sky just get used to fliping your perspective and the rest will come in time :)

Thank you for your encouragement!!! I'm determined :)

Keep it up!! I know exactly what you mean tho, every time I slack on my practice I have a hard time getting back on it. But remember showing up is 80% of the battle. Get on a wall and be kind to your neck! I'll be posting a headstand tutorial for diff levels soon!

Awesome! Looking forward to it :) Did my first practice of 2018 yesterday, and it felt great!
