Headstand

Śīrṣāsana is comprised of "Śīrṣa" (head) and "Āsana" (posture/pose). Also known as the "King of Asanas," it is an inversion pose where the body is balanced upside down, supported by the head and arms.

This pose is believed to increase blood flow to the brain, enhancing concentration, memory, and mental clarity. It is also thought to activate the digestive and endocrine systems, aiding in fatigue recovery and stress reduction. It simultaneously cultivates physical strength and mental tranquility.

Interlace the arms and place the crown of the head on the floor, slowly lifting the legs to balance the body vertically. Emphasize supporting body weight with the arms and core, not the neck. Practice with wall support or instructor assistance is recommended for safety.
