Headstand Pose 🧘🫶✨

HEADSTAND POSE OR SIRSASANA 😍🩷

This is the first inversion balance posture that apprentice yogis try to master. 🤞

It offers a new perspective on the practice and allows you to prepare for other, more difficult balance postures!

Step by step: Join the fingers of both hands and form a triangular base on the ground with your two hands linked and elbows on each side, which will be your base. Lean forward and place the top of your head on the floor, the back of your head against your hands. Move your feet towards your head with your leg straight, your back straightens little by little. Slowly lift your feet off the floor, bend your knees toward your chest. Slowly straighten your hips until your bent knees are pointed toward the ceiling. Slowly straighten your knees, feet rise upwards.

How to prepare: Dolphin pose is a great way to prepare for headstand pose.

Benefits: head rest improves concentration and memory.

Can practice next to a wall for additional balance help if needed!

The most important yoga asana 🧘🏼‍♀️
Savasana (corpse pose) is where the practice soaks in: your body repairs, your nervous system resets, and your mind finds clarity. If you’ve been skipping it.. you’re missing the most important part of yoga. Do you stay for savasana, or sneak out early? Be honest!! Follow for yoga, rituals,

If you want a really good core workout— this is it. I normally do these while I stretch but it’s great for getting the blood flowing, reducing stress and tension, and has many other great health benefits. If you’ve never done yoga, the technical term for what I’m doing is a headstand/Sirsasana.
