How To...

Step by Step

1. Stand up on your knees

2. Clasp your hands and lower your elbows and hands on the mat with your fingers facing the mat 

3. Lower your head on the mat and clutch it with your palms 

4. Move your legs closer to your torso and achieve balance without lifting your feet

5. As you are ready, lift your feet and gradually straighten your legs up

6. Balance on your head, supporting your balance with your hands and elbow

7. Hold for at least 5 breaths

8. Put one foot to the ground and then the other

9. Retreat to Childs Pose before trying again

Muscles Used
Main muscles used for this posture include the neck and spine. It is also important to keep your arms and legs engaged. Without a strong base it is impossible to do this pose. You must engage your Bandhas and think back to the basics of Tadasana.
