Jane in Yoga - Scorpion Pose

This has been the very hardest pose for me to achieve in yoga. It took me 9 years to feel confident enough to even try it, and now after 10 years of doing yoga I can actually do it without feeling like I am going to collapse & break my neck. I used to think I needed a paramedic on standby just to attempt it ;)

 

It takes loads of mental strength & will power (because it's scary to attempt it) and, a lot of arm & shoulder girdle strength.

 

Ultimately it should be done away from a wall and with feet resting on head... maybe in a another 10 years... http://www.santosha.com/asanas/scorpion.html
