    I love the teacher's vibe so much. When Marry said 'I can't go up", she added 'Yet!'. What an up-lifting vibe right there. Students need teachers like that.

      In that she was working to encourage the student to develop what has come to be called a "growth mindset".

    I have travelled for countless hours through the merciless algorithm, but i finally arrived here.
    No jacked dudes with capcious thumbnails were able to teach me to handstand against the wall as simply and graciously as this woman.
    Thank you. That was humbling

    Thank you🙏. I too can do this. I am person with some kind of stiff body. Initially I couldn't touch my toes but with your clear instructions I am able to do Headstand🧘‍♀️.. When you taught Mary, it gave me great hope. (I can feel Mary )... now feeling great.
    & that phrase in mayurasana video "how can i do this" motivates me alot.
    Although i am struggling to learn mayurasana. But i have full faith in your instruction, i will learn it too very soon.

    I had been trying wall handstands for several weeks with no luck. Then I came across your video, followed the instructions, and was able to get the wall handstand within a few tries (I did the one leg kick up.) The only other suggestion that might help others is to try to bring your kicker foot closer into your body and kick both feet up together as much as possible. For a while my kicker foot was weighing me down until my daughter (who can do handstands with ease) showed me how she used her kicker foot and I imitated. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful *and not intimidating* instructions!
