Headstand or handstand?

Conditions are often not ideal. Yet for a headstand only a tiny place is necessary. One can be in a headstand for 5 minutes or 3 minutes or 1 minute. One can finish this tiny practice with 5 minutes meditation. Sometimes this can be enough. Every practice and might it a short one anchors the body and the mind. Focusing on the breathe is relaxing.

I’m not sure if I’ll have time for a full primary tomorrow. But I’m sure that I’ll have time for a few asanas.

Cyogalife has started a new January challenge on Instagram. It’s every year the same 28 asanas that yoginis publish, one after the other till January is over. The intention is to check if progress can be seen after a year. The first asana was handstand. I substituted this asana with headstand. I tried a handstand and was very surprised that I was suddenly up. My feet touched the wardrobe. But the shape was not good. It was a banana. It’s better and safer to build up strength first. Perhaps I post a handstand next year. Within a year a lot can happen.
