Yesterday I found the courage to try doing the tripod headstand again. And although I’m comfortable with the traditional headstand using forearms, this tripod version feels scary to me.

I’ve been practicing yoga on and off since 2012. I’d do just a couple of rounds of the sun salutation for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. Then at some point, I’d just stop and come back at it only when I’d feel down (mostly because of breakups…)

I remember practicing it for the first time back in April and I couldn’t understand how people were able to lift their knees up on their forearms.

All I want is to feel good. And if it means stretching for only 10 min or practicing headstand endlessly then I’m happy.

The first time I tried to lift one leg up in bridge pose was during one yoga class back in June.
