Jumping into a headstand is definitely not the way to go! Performing the headstand in various stages not only ensures that you will master the technique, but will also prevent any injuries. Build self-confidence and feel a sense of accomplishment.
The headstand is known as the "king of all asanas." It is believed that if you master the headstand, you master space and time! The benefits of doing a proper headstand are immense. First, this is probably the only posture one can hold in order to give the heart much needed rest. If you already have a practice of the headstand, you will learn variations while holding the headstand. If you're comfortable doing those, you may then attempt Vrschikasana or the Scorpion pose.
CAUTION: The headstand may not be practiced if you have any one of the following:
- High Blood Pressure
- Glaucoma, Detached Retina or recent eye surgery
- Four or more months pregnant
- Recent neck injury
- Severe blocked nose, headache, or in the midst of an asthmatic attack
As always, if you're not sure, please check with your physician before participating in the workshop.
