Chakrasana ( 3 of 3 )
Seem to have pretty much got the hang of Chakrasana. Trick appears to be finding the " sweet spot". Practice with Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) , take it up really high so your on the tips of your shoulders. now move into halasana and again aim to get as high up on your shoulders as you can. Now if you put your hands under your shoulders, I think that's the sweet spot and where your aiming for. Come down and now while it's fresh in your mind perform your chakrosana. Don't need as much momentum as you think and you don't need to push up with your hands as much as you think either, both of which can be a distraction. The chin is tucked down, your aiming your pointed toes for the the right angle of the floor and the imaginary wall behind you. When you go over it's as if your lightly rolling over your head most of the weight having been taken in your hands. Anyway that's what I think is going on and this is as much for me to be able to remember tomorrow as help for anyone else struggling with it. Here's the video.
