Not sure if this is exactly the right place for this, but there's really no other part of the site it would fit on, and I guess it's kind of body/exercise related... anyway, I am terrified to do headstands. I can hang upside down from a pole all day but I can't get myself to do a headstand. I feel like there's no control. I guess I worry about either a) flipping past the pole or b) even if I'm up against a wall or something, that I won't kick hard enough and end up toppling to the side and hurting myself. It's different from a handstand where I feel like I have more control with the use of my arms, but something about being on my elbows/head freaks me the fuck out. Does anyone have problems with headstands or even handstands? Any tips on ways to keep myself from psyching out or how to practice in a way that makes me feel safe?
