hey guys so we've been lately getting a lot of requests
for single yoga pose turotialss
so today we have something a little different and give you
a tutorial on how to do a headstand
so the head stand is quite difficult pose
so if you're only getting started with your practice
however if you feel like you're ready
and you always wanted to learn how to do it
then this is the video for you
most important thing about a headstand is
that you're actually not holding your weight on your head
you want to avoid that
most of the majority of the weight at least when i do it
goes to the forearms
we clamp our fingers
and then all the weight goes on top of the forwarms
break down the pose step by step
so lets start you're going to interlace the fingers
you're going to place the forwards onto the floor
and then what you're going to do is take the crown
place it on the mat
keep all the weight in forearms
lift your knees like you do in downward dog
before we start the headstand
think about all the weight going into the forwards
start by picking one foot at a time
see if you can balance here
using your core
extend
so again you can almost feel like you're pushing into the floor
letting that pressure off the head
head just simply keeping you there
I'm going to show you version 2 now
which is the straddle which is my favourite
same way interlace the fingers forearms on the ground
were going to come into a wide legged fold
and then from here come on down
interlace fingers
forhead down
come to the tippy toes
all of your weight is in the forearms
start to lift
take a big wide circle with the legs
i still feel pressure on my head of course
not all my body weight is holding it
you can also do a couple different postures
little side to side
to come out flex your feet
come off the head
let go of any tension
you definitely will feel some compression
we want to release
thats it
well there you have it you guys thats your tutorial
for a headstand
if you're going to be trying this at hime make sure you have someone with you
to spit you in case you fall
just to make sure you don't cause any injuries
ok thanks so much ill see you again soon
