If you are new to yoga, it may be a good idea to start with easier poses until you build up your strength and balance.
Other difficult poses include handstands and backbends. If you are not used to standing on your hands or bending backwards, these poses can be quite challenging. It is important to take your time and practice these poses slowly and carefully to avoid injury.
