Bakasana
I finally got it last night...
The Crow pose or Bakasana.
There is something pretty wonderful about the correlation I find in my Yoga practice and what seems to be going on in the world. My teacher was talking about basic physics. In order for something to go up...something must go down. This helps when trying to get your waist over your head while balancing on your arms. It's the see-saw effect.
And here we are in the world...see sawing away...looking for balance.
My teacher said something pretty poignant last night... We are all focusing on what we don't know but maybe we should focus on what we do know. She calls people the micro-granules of universal love. We are surrounded with support. Wrap your mind around that for five minutes and maybe you could balance into crow.

That looks very challenging!
I had to have a spot the first few times but then I finally got it.
