headstand benefits, is an advanced yoga pose that requires strength, balance, and focus. To begin, find a quiet, stable space with a mat or soft surface. Start by kneeling on the floor, interlace your fingers, and place your forearms on the mat, forming a triangle shape. Gently place the crown of your head on the mat, ensuring your neck is not strained, and your hands support the weight of your head.
Engage your core and lift your knees off the ground, bringing your feet toward your hips. Slowly straighten your legs and begin to walk your feet closer to your body, building the foundation for balance. Once your hips are above your shoulders, slowly raise one leg at a time toward the sky. Keep your legs straight, inner thighs engaged, and your core tight.
To maintain balance, focus your gaze at a fixed point and engage your breath. Don’t rush; the key is to keep your body aligned and steady. If you feel any strain in your neck or back, come down carefully. To exit, slowly lower your legs back down, maintaining control as you return to a kneeling position. Shirshasana strengthens the upper body, improves circulation, and enhances mental focus. Practice with patience and mindfulness.
