Altair, haven't said I've nailed it yet! Lol it's hard af. Many people in my classes can come into it from standing
I have to sit on my bum, cradle my leg and wrap into the leg twist but coming into balance on my hands is so difficult. My arm strength isn't quite there yet.

I've come to almost a 90 degree angle with my feet on the wall and hands on the ground. Super close to kicking up into handstand. But once i start creeping more weight into the finger tips for even distribution and i become even more upright, i become terrified and come out of it lol. It feels so close to kicking into the full deal and I've never done it before. Have to get past this little monkeh mind that tells me i can't because clearly I can.

Sun and moon salutations. Nice. I have been doing a lot of mandala sequences basically dancing in all directions of the mat. I find the experience beautiful.

Sapphirez, the 5 tibetan rights are actually what i looked into many years ago. They are a good way to get that excess energy build up to flow out of you. A good start.

I suggest looking up some beginners youtube videos if you are looking to do more than those 5 poses in the rights. I think you will be very happy with the freedom in your spine and body if you explore more :)
