Referring to shirshasana as “the king of asanas,” Shilpa further jotted down the benefits of performing the yoga position on a regular basis. She wrote that shirshasana helps in strengthening and developing the core muscles, shoulders and arms. It helps to calm the mind and align oneself. If incorporated in the fitness routine on a daily basis, shirshasana can be beneficial in improving the quality of hair as well. The yoga position also helps in enhancing the blood circulation in the body.

However, she added that precautions must be taken while performing this asana. It initially should be performed in presence of supervision, or it may cause injuries. “You can also start by practising against the wall,” she added.
