"Pride commeth before a fall" they say. (don't your just hate them), Was feeling pretty pleased with myself after nailing my drop back so quickly earlier in the week, Plus Yoga Chickie saying my practice was lovely (thank you for that, very kind) I decided to slip the drop back into my regular practice. Clearly it needs more work. Actually it's kind of reassuring, I was afraid of what might happen if it went wrong and though I hit my head my arms took most of the weight/impact, so its not going to break my neck.
As if that wasn't bad enough, this morning. Having just managed to get into inverted lotus, Urdhva Padmasana, for the first time without using my hands and feeling pleased with myself, again, I decided to have a go at karandavasana. Thought I'd try getting into lotus in headstand first then lift up onto my forearms and lower.....nope!
Luckily I had the wall behind me but have always wondered what happens if you fall forwards while still in Lotus, find that very scary, wouldn't you just come crashing down onto your knees?
UPDATE
It got better, progress post, videos from this one to 2011 including the 108 dropbacks, click on the link below.

Awesome! Very valuable material for we home practicioners. I just bought your kindle book. I like how you keep that sense of you throughout your practice.
Thank you Zendio, hope you find something useful in the book.
