Sirsasana or Headstand: An Advanced Posture in Yoga

 Sirsasana or Headstand is one of the advanced postures in Yoga. The posture involves balancing on the head and is one of the most difficult poses to master. It requires a great amount of strength in the core, shoulder arms, and flexibility in the hamstrings to do the pose correctly and hold it for some time. Further, it also requires focus and concentration to perform this pose correctly.

Beginners should perform this posture in the presence of Yoga trainers so that the trainer can help to correct the alignment of the body if done incorrectly, it can lead to serious injuries over the head, neck or spine.

As a beginner, I always found this posture very fascinating and spent hours scrolling through videos to search how to do this posture correctly different people teach different techniques to master this pose i.e. with the help of a chair, wall, or starting through a single leg, etc., however, I have explained the technique which worked out best for me. Further, some videos even claim that this pose can be mastered in a week. However, the truth is that balancing in this posture takes time… sometimes a year, depending upon the capacity of an individual.

We have described below the benefits of this posture, how to start learning this posture for beginners, contraindications and one of the most important parts is how to maintain balance and fall in this posture.

What Is Sirsasana?


Sirsasana


The word Sirsasana consists of two Sanskrit words, Sirsa and Asana. Sirsa means head, and Asana means “posture”. It is a posture which is performed by way of balancing on the head.

It is also called as king of all poses, as it energizes the entire body and speeds blood circulation towards the head and provides a lot of benefits to the entire body.

Functional Workout — Fitness and More

  Functional training exercises help you to perform activities in everyday life more easily. These exercises typically use the whole body — multiple muscles — and emphasize core strength and stability. By mirroring the movements of your daily life, like squatting, reaching, or even carrying a heavy object, building functional strength can help increase your quality of life and reduce your risk of injury. Bodybuilding-type strength training — which often just focuses on one muscle group — doesn’t provide as many benefits in the functional fitness realm. For example, a bicep curl targets just the bicep, but a bicep curl plus a reverse lunge combo integrates the whole body and tests your balance. Learn more about  functional training in Gurgaon .
