Ashtanga , Working towards Urdhava Kukkatasana A

Working towards Urdhava Kukkatasana A to try to improve my Karandavasana, by forcing me to come down more slowly and with more control. Also trying to see if it will improve my lift back up. relates to my blog http://grimmly2007.blogspot.com/

thanks boodie, forgotten all about this one. Sorry to hear your knees playing up again, hope it improves.

Thanks Tachi

Hi SS, Actually not so long, i could do it in headstand, just tried it one day, having the wall there gives you confidence.

[grimmly2007]

thanks. Inverted lotus only took a couple of weeks. If you do it in tripod headstand by a wall your nice and stable and can work at it. Then it's on to forearm stands and now handstands.

Nice! I can't seem to come down anymore. I don't use a wall to bind the lotus, but now that my right knee is seemingly permanently veklempt, I can't bind that tight. The minute I start to bend I come down to the floor!

that's a clever way to work on that. can't see myself doing the handstand version, but i can manage the headstand one.

Keep going!

You are doing well man.

How long did you have to persevere to be able to do lotus in handstand?
