ecstaticTwice, in fact. Against the wall, and I walked up a doorframe rather than kicking up--but the second time, I held it for ten seconds, and I managed to lower in the approved fashion rather than walking back down the door (tuck legs and roll down onto feet).
Result!
I can tell I'm going to be doing this at every opportunity for a couple of weeks, as I did when I first figured out the magic that is wheel pose. Maybe at the climbing gym I can practice kicking up. They have pads, so it's not so scary.
I also managed five seconds of crow pose and thirty seconds of elbow stand. My writhing biceps, I show you them. (Seriously, you should see the deltoids I am growing.)
