To cue this pose in a multi-level class, I start with everyone doing AMS (down dog) with hands on the wall, hands above shoulder level. Students can repeat that pose or turn around and do AMS on the floor with heels next to the wall. Students can repeat the pose or bring their heels up onto the floorboard and lift one leg up the wall. From there, students have an option to do half handstand with the body at a 90 degree angle, or walk their feet up the wall to make the pose a little easier to hold. Repeat by lifting the other leg.
