Headstand is one of the most classic yoga movements.
It is also the most common yoga pose.
When the body is upside down in the posture, it can promote the blood to flow back to the brain and build the strength of the arms, shoulders and core muscles.
It is called the king of yoga postures.
In fact, head handstand is mainly about the stability of the upper body.
It requires the arms and shoulders to establish a stable support and use the core to stabilize the body forward and backward.
Therefore, the warm-up of head handstand mainly focuses on the shoulders, back and core strength.
This sequence to be shared today is designed to help you improve your head handstand by breaking down the elements that make up your posture.

Instead, you must prepare your body, mind, and nervous system so that you can overcome your fear when you turn it upside down.
