    If you do the plank with both legs straight and crossed you can turn that into a CAR by tilting the hips back and leaning back 🙂 So being comfortable with straight leg planks will help with feeling more secure in the CAR.

    Oh and if you can't do an elbowstand or handstand I wouldn't try the iguana mount.

    Maybe learning elbowstands will help a bit with the fear of going upside down? Because you can get used to it in a different and more secure position, especially if you start against a wall.

    For me, drop-backs (CAR & CKR), inversions and even aerial inversions are all good, but I'm terrified to go into cartwheel/handspring! I can do it no problem with a spotter, and I know that I have the strength to do it, but it's a total mental block. Does anyone else have this issue?
