Do a headstand slightly away from the wall. Slowly take the feet towards the wall, as you slowly take your hands away from your head, and place them either side of your head,elbows down.
Now slowly push up on the arms lifting the head upwards and outwards so that you are resting on the arms.
With practice you will be able to be able to just put the elbows and hands down on the floor and skip up straight into a scorpion and hold an elegant posture with straight legs or bent legs (not so elegant).
