Another day, another jumpback 🙃
When I first started yoga, I was impatient to get into more advanced postures and would kick up into a headstand.
But now, I understand that the quality of movement and breath is much more important than using brute force or strength to enter into a pose.
In many ways, Tripod headstand is Chaturanga. And Chaturanga is Tadasana (mountain pose). The bandhas and body are engaged.
So if the bandhas and body in Tadasana and Chaturanga aren’t solid, entering and holding a headstand will feel challenging.
In my classes, we always start with the foundations and build from there.
