The Shirshasana or the headstand looks extremely complicated, but with a little practice, you will be able to master it . The key is to progress slowly. This position helps improve blood circulation and also removes toxins from the blood stream. This, in turn, makes the skin radiant and glowing.<\/p>\n

How To Do It<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. From a standing position, squat on your toes while resting the knees on the ground.<\/li>\n
  2. Clasp your fingers together while placing your hands in front of you on the ground. The elbows should be about 30cm away from your body<\/li>\n
  3. Bend forward such that the crown of your head touches the ground. Rest the back of your head between your palms.<\/li>\n
  4. Walk towards your head, keeping your knees absolutely straight. Make sure that your back, neck, and head are aligned in a straight line that is perpendicular to the ground.<\/li>\n
  5. Bend your knees, and lift your legs off the ground towards your chest, keeping the weight of your body on your head and forearms. Exhale.<\/li>\n
  6. Now, as you inhale, straighten your back, and raise your knees towards the sky. Straighten your legs and point your toes upwards.<\/li>\n
  7. Focus on your breathing. Breathe normally.<\/li>\n
  8. To release yourself, bend your knees slowly, making sure you do not loose balance.<\/li>\n
  9. Bend the hips, and pull your knees towards your chest. Straighten your legs, and gently touch your toes to the ground.<\/li>\n
  10. Slowly bring your knees and hips down, concentrating your weight on the legs. 11. Relax your upper body and bring yourself to a fetal position for a few seconds. 12. Close your eyes and relax taking deep breaths.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note<\/strong>: Sarvangasan is a great pre-position that will help you get into this position easily.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Caution<\/h4>\n

    Make sure you do not jump or fling your legs to get into position. Do it slowly and steadily. It is best to avoid this asana if you have a stiff neck, high blood pressure, heart problems, low blood pressure, a chronic issue of constipation, kidney problems, osteoporosis, pregnancy, periods, or any kind of hemorrhage.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
