A Call From My Yoga Teacher

My yoga teacher called me yesterday. She said: "I want you to help me learn a headstand".

This is the version I do (though I sometimes lift with straight legs for an added challenge)



This is more advanced than what I do; when I do the straight legged lift I don't do it from a straddle.



Nevertheless I am excited. The last time my teacher tried a headstand she bent way over like this:


And then put the crown of her head on the ground. The spotter's job was to stand in front of her (her back to you) and then move her hips and butt toward vertical; in other words I will be putting my hands on her ass!

I am motivated...
