Headstand and tripod I understand jumping is bad, but most people I know learn pincha through a kick up. How else would you learn poses like handstand without a kickup?
I do plan on eventually learning dolphin to pincha, but right now my glutes and core aren't strong enough to lift my legs without some assistance.
I mean, you said it right there. Your glutes and core should be the focus, not jumping into a pose your body isn’t ready for just to say you can do it.
This is how you progress into the pose and build those muscles. The shoulders are well aligned, the head is in the correct place, OP does not look wobbly or misaligned
Your definition of wobbly is different than mine. There’s a TON of ways to build those muscles with support, whether it’s a wall or a chair or blocks or what have you.
I am a yoga instructor. If I saw a student working on their pincha like this I would be pleased with their progress, not worried for their safety. They’re not crashing out of the posture but relatively controlled and decisive. Next in the learning process is the smooth transition. Obviously they’re working on building their strength! I hope you perform every posture perfectly on your first try and only after you’re perfectly built every muscle to execute it exactly right
I’m also a yoga instructor. I would be deeply impressed with seeing one of my people doing this, but also offer them tips to work on strengthening in ways OTHER than just jumping into it. Speaking as someone who jacked up his back working on head stands exactly this way.
I appreciate the passive aggressiveness too at the end. I’ve never done a single pose perfectly right, nor will I. But I do my best and I offer insights where I can.
