Awesome! :)

When I practised yoga regularly as a teenager, I did this pose next to a wall. I was really afraid I would not be able to balance so I allowed my feet to touch the wall at first. It was comforting to know there is something to lean on. It was a good way to ease myself into it. Balancing was actually really easy. It's like you say, the fear is the hardest part. It felt really good when I learned to do it. It gave me a lot of confidence. I also found this pose to bring very quick relief from hiccups :D
