Practicing the beginner version of this pose as demonstrated will slowly help you gain the balance and flexibility required to get into the full pose. But as I always say, you don’t need to do the full pose to reap its benefits, you are already reaping the benefits in your version of it, whether it be beginner, intermediate or advanced level. Remember to practice this pose with care and consult a yoga instructor if you’re new to it or have any health concerns.
