Hey everyone, today I’m bringing you a pose tutorial for Sirsasana/Supported Headstand pose. This has been a popular request as I know a lot of you are eager to give this inversion a try. In this yoga pose tutorial, I’ll go over three different conditioning exercises that will help you develop the strength needed to support yourself in headstand before showing you different ways of getting into this pose.
With headstand, it’s super important to remember that most of your body weight is not resting on your head and neck, it’s actually being supported by your arms and back. You need to have a lot of strength to safely do this pose.
Please remember that inversions and arm balances can be really fun ways to challenge yourself, but they aren’t necessary! There’s no rush and no pressure to “accomplish” these poses. Always listen to your body and be really patient with yourself. It will take time!
I’ll show you three different ways of doing a supported headstand, either the knee tuck, the leg lift or the float. You’ll want to have your mat near a wall to start out with.
Most importantly, HAVE FUN and don’t take yourself too seriously!
