My "yoga goal" is to be able to do a headstand. This doesn't mean that I am rushing toward it, or that I will expect to feel astounding achievement and then leave yoga when I do it. It just means that the practice leading up to doing a headstand will be very beneficial, and allow me to concentrate on my alignment instead of just flopping over things.
I have been able to do camel recently, but have been having trouble stretching out my back afterwards. I couldn't quite hit the one spot that gets slightly compressed. Then tonight I remembered Happy Baby. This is mostly a stretch for your hips (helps me find mine!) but my back gets pushed back into the mat slightly when I do it. And in just the right spot, too.
So if you do an inversion or backbend that puts some pressure on your spine (be careful!), happy baby could hit the spot. I love finding the holistic side to poses :)
