http://www.yogabodynaturals.com – FREE Stretching Flexibility Secrets: 7-day email course shows the connection between nutrition and flexibility. HEADSTAND (Sirsasana Pose) Sirsasana, or headstand, is considered to be the “kind of asanas,” or the king of all yoga poses. There are many variations of the classic headstand that require more balance and focus, but the benefits of the practice are nearly identical no matter what variation you are practicing. Even half headstand (where your legs never leave the ground) is extremely healthful and restorative. HEADSTAND BASICS Students are always in a rush to learn headstand, and they try jumping their legs into the air and banging up against a wall… don’t do this! With more gymnastic postures like handstand, this is fairly harmless, but headstand involves your neck and spine so you want to move carefully. It’s a safe posture, but don’t go jumping and flopping around! less
