Headstand B

  • Begin on your hands and knees. Lower your elbows to the floor and interlace your fingers, bringing your lowest pinkie in front of the other pinkie, forming a semicircle with your hands.
  • Place the back of your head against your palms and the top of your head on the mat, so your skull is vertical with the floor. Once your head and forearms feel stable, straighten both legs and walk your feet toward your face as far as you can.
  • Shift your hips over your shoulders, and keep your elbows planted firmly on the mat. Lift both legs into the air, coming into Bound Headstand.
  • Take a breath in, and as you exhale, slowly lower both feet toward the mat so they are parallel with the floor. Hold here for 10 to 30 seconds.
  • Inhale and then exhale to raise your legs back up into Headstand to complete the rep.
  • If you have a hard time staying balanced, try lowering the knees into a tuck position instead.
