キノ・マクレガ―のインスタグラム(kinoyoga) - 6月16日 02時58分

If you think this looks easy you should see what’s going on in my mind. Every single time I’m about to jump back over I am filled with massive doubt and have to give myself an internal pep talk. Kino, you can do it, Lord help me, give me strength, ok, press into your arms, pelvic floor, inhale, jump to handstand. Every. Single. Time.

I never had a problem falling over. But that’s my personality. I jump head in with all heart and no reservation, impulsive with full faith that I’ll land on the other side ok. And I always have. But getting back over is another story.

Here’s what helped me:
1. Jump to handstand. Do not try and throw your body back over. Instead use the sample principles as jumping into handstand. Transfer weight onto the arms and send the chest over the shoulders and then hips over the shoulders.
2. Gaze forward, not down. Looking towards the same spot I gaze towards in Vrschikasana helps me feel the integrity of the handstand as I jump back over.
3. Use the backbend. Just like I squeeze my front body before pressing up to handstand here I’m squeezing my back body before jumping back over.
4. Go down slowly. Lowering as slowly down into backbend as possible helps build the strength to come back up.
5. Don’t overthink it in the movement. Find one key alignment pointer that puts it all together and then use that. Avoid being overly analytical while in the movement or the mind can fragment the wholeness of the body.
6. Forgive yourself. Some days are good. This was a good day. Some days are bad and I topple over and can’t even get back over. It’s all part of the process. Try three times, forgive yourself and move on to practice another day.

This movement is called #viparitachakrasana or just tic-tocs and they are hard and challenging. In traditional Ashtanga Yoga this is added in at the end or latter part of Second Series. I’ve been working on this for about 18 years and I still have room for improvement.
