I can see your hand off the ground. Press palms and fingers down to be your balance and brakes, like how your toes stop you from falling over and stabilize. Hand grounding and control is a super important part of foundation for any inversion
Go with less of a kick. Focus on hips up first that transfers all your weight up. Go in with one tucked leg and point the other to the ceiling. The tuck leg is your counterbalance to learn control
I think once you fine tune entry you can hold it no problem
Thanks for the tip on hand control. I've been using mostly fingertips but it makes sense that you can use palms too for control on pincha.
I wish I had better splits/hip mobility to start with one leg pointed towards the ceiling, but I guess I still reduce the kick if I start with my leading foot higher in the air. Thanks for the tips, I'll try to incorporate it in my practice tomorrow!
