How To Do Shirshasana or Headstand?
Shirshasana or Headstand is called the king of all asanas. To do the pose, sit in Vajrasana, and bend forward with folded forearms resting on the ground with interlocked fingers. Then, form a triangle with the head and the hands on the floor. Place the crown of the head between the interlocked fingers. Slowly, balance the head on the fingers, lift the knees off the floor and straighten them, and walk the feet towards the torso. Lift yourself off the floor by bending your knees. Then, slowly straighten the hips so the thighs are perpendicular to the floor and straighten yourself until the entire body is vertical. Hold the position for a few seconds. While coming back, slowly return to the ground and sit in Child Pose to rest for a few seconds.
Shirshasana or Headstand Benefits:
Shirshasana or Headstand relieves stress, increases focus, improves blood flow to the eyes, head and scalp, strengthens shoulders and arms, and improves digestion. Practising the pose also strengthens the core and deepens and calms the breath.
Note: Don't practice the asana without the guidance of a trained professional.
