How many types of #headstand can you see?
#sirsasana, a.k.a “king of all asanas” might come in different shapes or form. Sometimes you do leg variations, sometimes it’s the hands. And sometimes you don’t even need your hands at all! I love how this set up where can use the blocks to support your own body. Follow these steps if you wanna try:
1. You’d need at least 4 blocks but ideally 6 and a clear wall space.
2. Set up the blocks as pictured. But how high the blocks really depend on the length of your head 👽 and your neck 🦒.
3. Come to the wall as close as you can and bring the head between the blocks. The head doesn’t even have to touch the floor - so it’s great for those who have a neck issue and can normally not do a headstand.
4. Hands on the floor in front of the blocks and lift the legs (or kick them up). Stick the back to the wall. Keep the hands on the floor if you’re new to this.
5. Suck the belly in and keep breathing. I normally stay here for 1-5 mins and have a good 1-2 min of child’s pose. It’s my #espresso ☕️
Of course, have someone to spot you if you need extra help staying in headstand.
I’ve been practicing headstand for at least 13 years now and it has kept my youthful looks 👶🏻. What other benefits can you think of?

15min stretch sequence on your back
This pretty much sums up my yoga practice these days- lying down stretches on my bed. It’s a good way to wind down and relax, while giving my body a nice and easy stretch.
Also it’s perfect for someone who is trying to gain flexibility in the hips, hamstrings and lower back. Having the legs against the wall not only makes stretching easier for those who are tight, it also helps allow the mind and body to relax, and stimulate blood circulation.

Hold each pose for 1min.
For all poses, do your best to keep your shoulders down, and the back of your neck long. Instead of using your arms to pull, use the deadweight of your upper body to do the work. Focus on deepening your breath to help you stretch.

While this pose doesn't need much explanation, one of the most important things is to start with the buttocks as close to the wall as you can. You can use a #yogawheel like I do, or use a bolster, or a firm pillow. And if you have none of that, roll up a yoga mat and put it under your sacrum. The other thing is that you focus on your breathing and relaxing. This pose is particularly great for relaxing tired feet and legs and a perfect alternative for #shoulderstand, and is a perfect pose for pregnant yoginis.
