Headstand Poses | 17 different Headstand Variations to Keep your Practice Fresh

Headstand which is also known as Sirsasana, is one the most practiced inversions out there along with handstand and shoulderstand. Headstands strengthen the vertebral column, core, the arms and the legs.

πŸ’ͺSome other benefits include calming the brain, relieving stress, increasing blood flow to the head, flushing out the adrenal glands and improving digestion.πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
