I can finally do this.
I got headstand pretty quickly, so I don't know why I had so much trouble with this one.
Next goal: scorpion

Wow, I'm amazed anyone can do that!
elbow stand is a significantly more difficult pose than headstand. and then bending into scorpion shifts your center of balance, so it takes a bunch of core and shoulder strength that you're not using in headstand. most people don't get to these poses.
that makes sense. forearm stand seems harder because it feels like it's impossible to get upside-down that way when your neck is off the ground and looking slightly forward.
i don't think i'll get into scorpion any time soon... but it's always been one of the poses ive wanted to be able to do.
for scorpion, you'll want to start just like you would for elbow stand, just a little further away from the wall. that way you can gradually walk your feet down the wall toward your head and test yourself by 'letting go' of the wall just one foot at a time.
