What is it about

Headstands can be intimidating and cause many of us to avoid exploring this pose due to fear or lack of instruction.

However, they can actually be practised safely and explored effectively with enough explanation and guidance. After some practice, you can even have fun with it!

Also known as “The King of Asanas”, the headstand offers lots of benefits – especially when one learns to execute it correctly and safely.
