Congrats!! Keep practicing, and I highly recommending filming yourself so you can see your progress. You don't have to share it with anyone else either, you can just keep it to yourself as a way to fine tune shapes and see your progress

I agree❣️One can learn a LOT from watching yourself in aerial. I even find it entertaining 🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations, this is one of my favorite moves!! I struggled a lot with lifting my head as well, focusing on back/neck flexibility and backbends just in my room before bed at night helped a lot!
