Asana Unlocked: Sirsasana II ('Half' Tripod-Headstand)

Definitely making progress with Sirsasana II ('Half' Tripod-Headstand): tried practicing center of the mat today for the first time and succeeded without wall support.


One piece of advice: know your limitations and do not get ahead of yourself. Without the wall support, I know for sure that my limit was to stay in the half variation, with both knees on my arms. Most, I would try to get one knee off my hand, bent. Knowing my core is not strong enough, stretching one leg straight up is out of the question as I risk toppling over. Worst, I might twist or sprain my neck in the attempt of doing so. I have experienced toppling over numerous times trying headstand without wall support but with tripod-headstand, the risk of a neck injury is way higher. Be safe.
