The Headstand, part 2, comments by Artistic Director Carrie Smaczny
So, here I am in Yoga class once again practicing my headstand. I decide to finally try it away from the wall. No help, I either do it or crash and burn. So once again I seceded, however, it was short lived: for about three seconds. I got too excited, lost my balance and safely tumbled to the ground. What I realized is that I don’t need my “crutch” the wall for my support. I am capable of more than I think I am.
A good lesson for me to mediate on in the New Year. I find that the person holding myself back from doing something really extraordinary is my own ego…
Happy Headstands! Carrie
