How many types of #headstand can you see?
#sirsasana, a.k.a “king of all asanas” might come in different shapes or form. Sometimes you do leg variations, sometimes it’s the hands. And sometimes you don’t even need your hands at all! I love how this set up where can use the blocks to support your own body. Follow these steps if you wanna try:
1. You’d need at least 4 blocks but ideally 6 and a clear wall space.
2. Set up the blocks as pictured. But how high the blocks really depend on the length of your head 👽 and your neck 🦒.
3. Come to the wall as close as you can and bring the head between the blocks. The head doesn’t even have to touch the floor - so it’s great for those who have a neck issue and can normally not do a headstand.
4. Hands on the floor in front of the blocks and lift the legs (or kick them up). Stick the back to the wall. Keep the hands on the floor if you’re new to this.
5. Suck the belly in and keep breathing. I normally stay here for 1-5 mins and have a good 1-2 min of child’s pose. It’s my #espresso ☕️
Of course, have someone to spot you if you need extra help staying in headstand.
I’ve been practicing headstand for at least 13 years now and it has kept my youthful looks 👶🏻. What other benefits can you think of?
