Finally got the hang of Chakrosana. As a reminder here I was a year ago.
I seemed to have completely missed it in all the DVD's I watched,then when I went to Mysore self-practice for the first time after practicing for a year I was told to do it there and then, Embarrassing to say the least.
So I struggled with it and it got a little better but just lately, with all this focus on jalahandhara bandha it just seems to have appeared almost perfectly from nowhere.
So here's the trick engage jalandrabandha (throat lock) fully chin right down on your clavicle and keep it there as you go over. The rest I think is just timing, getting your hands in place and giving a little push at just the right moment.
And here it is again with almost no momentum, all jalahandra bandha

thanks for posting this, I've been struggling with the chakorasana vinyasa for a year now and now progress
M.Sweeney said it was about changing the dristi from looking to the bellybutton to looking up during the movement, but it did not help me much, i think it also has to do with some strength in the arms, which i still don't have enough of, but i will certainly try to apply your advice and see where it gets me
