There are people at my yoga studio who van do (and hold) all sorts of crazy inversions in the middle of the room. One instructor is so steady in her headstand that she doesn't move even the slightest bit once she's in the pose. I can get into it without the wall and hold it, but I still like having it close in case I lose my balance.
