Overcoming fear and discomfort

Have there been any asanas in your practice that you thought were scary or very uncomfortable at first but you overcame that and now enjoy them..?

I had this with halasana.. the first time I touched the ground with my feet it was scary.. such a loss of 'control'. But it's one of my favourites now..

Another one for me would ustrasana.. especially breathing peacefully and feeling at ease was difficult when I began with this..

What are yours?
