For example, a few turns of Surya Namaskar or Saludo al Sol make the breathing become conscious, deep and fluid while we activate the muscles to use during the inversions: in the upper back, abdominal area, arms, hands and legs.
In yoga, perseverance is very important . For this reason it is also suggested to try the inverted positions frequently, every day, if it can be. In this way, strength and confidence are cultivated and learning to let go of fear.
Fear can be an ally rather than an enemy if we let ourselves be guided by it , using it to advance with intelligence and with our senses wide awake. Many teachers tell us that inverted postures are great to change our relationship with fear.
Use a wall if the fear of falling is the main barrier for you to try to make the positions inverted . Another good idea is to ask your teacher to provide physical support during the class when it comes time to make the Headstand or other investments such as Pine.
