Kakasana is hard! It takes practice, focus and patience. The practice in Kakasana is not only about finding the right balance and shift in weight, but also in focusing your mind and trusting yourself. Building confidence in ourselves is a practice just as much as any physical skill or strength. If you find that the mental aspect is getting in the way, try supporting yourself by placing a blanket, bolster or pillow in front of your face, a soft space to land should you need it. There is so much to learn about ourselves in Kakasana — what does this pose teach you about yourself outside of the physical engagement?
