The steps to get into Scorpio:

1. get into a headstand.

2. bend your legs over, knees flexed. The feet are side by side.

3. open your hands and place your palms on the floor.

4. the next step is the most difficult: roll your head onto your forehead and push yourself up. This requires strength. It is easier to lift your head off the mat if you push your hands forward. But this is also the moment when you usually fall out of the pose. I can’t imagine not falling.

The headstand should never be practiced in front of a wall. Once you start, you will never get away from the wall. I have seen this happen a number of times.

You can do the scorpion posture with the wall as a support.

In spite of this, tomorrow I am going to try to fall out of the posture at least three times. It’s very frightening. Only by consciously learning to fall can you overcome it. I think my backbends are good enough that I won’t hurt myself if I fall backwards. It’s a test of courage, nothing more.

A start has been made.

The instructions for the crow were also interesting. I will write about that tomorrow.

Will I have the courage to fall out of position?

I could film it. Haha……..
