| Be sure to rely mainly on your abdominal, arm and shoulder muscles (not your head) as well as concentrating on finding the center of gravity for this pose. For safety, it should only be attempted with instructor supervision for your safety. Practice little by little and prepare yourself physically and mentally. It's not necessary to practice daily when you start. Don't be too hasty. If you fail today, stop and try again in a few days. Safety comes first. Practice with an instructor is ideal. Yoga is also a test of will power. If you give up too soon, you don't progress. If you are hasty, injury may occur. I was in a car accident as a teenager. Although my collar bones were completely healed, I promised myself not to attempt this pose. However, I was asked to do this pose while being trained as a yoga instructor. Apart from studying and reading a textbook exhaustively, I often lost my center and fell over on my butt. It was discouraging since I learned the pose by heart: use the right muscles, don't use momentum and don't transfer weights to head. It left me pondering why? It took me a few weeks to finally succeed. Thanks to the words and encouragement from my fellow Japanese classmate who was also a marathon runner. She made fists, bended elbows, lifted and shook her arms while speaking very sternly, "Concentrate here"! Small children should not attempt this pose. Try upward bow (wheel pose) or handstand instead. Here is my final advice. Make sure you thoroughly understand the steps and you are attempting with instructor supervision. อ่านภาษาไทย |
