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!

The poses I demonstrate in this video are:

wide legged forward bend / prasarita padottanasana

tripod headstand / mukta hasta sirsasana

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.
