Advanced Yoga - Headstand
Hi Everyone,
For all of you dare devils out there, who ARE familiar with how to do a headstand safely, try this. In this video i show you how to get into a headstand from the wide legged forward bend.
Its fun, takes concentration, awareness and strength. Do it with a wall behind you, and mind yourselves.
I hope you will get as much joy out of it as me!
This is NOT for beginners!

Sirsasana / Headstand
Benefits:
Sirsasana is also called the king of the yoga poses. Its called that because of the many benefits this pose can bring you.
- Draws fresh blood into the upper body while stimulating drainage and circulation to the legs.
- When properly practiced it effectively counters upper back and neck problems.
- It quiets the mind and so prepares you for meditation.
- It strengthens the arms, legs and back.
- It strengthens the core.
- It heats up the upper back, so you can do headstand as a preparation for back bends.
- Relieves mild depression.
