Gena, blessings.
I am a big fan of your blog, though this is my first time commenting. I also am a yoga teacher, and I often find myself leading students into sirsasana for the first time. As a little take-home gift for my students, I made a headstand mini-workshop video. Please do check it out and email me if you have any questions. You are such a blessing to us all.

as a wise yogini once told me: that’s why they call it yoga practice – not yoga perfect!

Great post, Gena! I love it. And good for you for pushing yourself to try something you’ve been afraid of in the past! I totally relate to this headstand fear!!

Gena, thank you for this post and for sharing your experience with integrating your personality with your yoga practice. I really appreciate your insight and perspective on this topic. It rung especially true to me, because I have a Type A approach too, and often I have to focus on not letting my negative self-talk detract me from what I intend to accomplish. It is indeed hard to let go of expectations and just be accepting of whatever comes up in a yoga class, but it sounds like you had a very fulfilling headstand experience. Best wishes!
