This is a relatively easy one.. Do a head stand supporting your head, when balance is achieved, may need the all, look up and bend knees.Still waiting for the yoga book. Could go back and send to me and save, but way too much time to do that. Maybe one day.
Impractical!! I beg to differ! As well as the comment “a relatively easy one…” (from stairsteppublishing…) This is a very challenging, advanced asana for 99% of the adult US population. (I think the author of “easy…” is backhandedly bragging — like runners in Boulder, Colo who nonchalantly chat of running up fourteeners (mts of 14,000’+ elev). Veiled bragging. OK, that mini rant out of the way – Impractical?? This pose creates upper body strength; cultivates careful balance; opens up the body’s anterior (front) torso; combats the ‘parenthesis effect’ of curling/slumping forward that affects way too many people as we age. Also, inversions are excellent for digestion, flushing out toxins, lower body inflammation, & tired blood that tends to accumulate in the lower extremities. I have been doing massage therapy for 40 years & yoga for 45, and I know these things thru science & experience. (and I am still learning!) Also — THANK YOU for helping to bring yoga into the mainstream, Don and Pat!!

If you don’t want the cat to participate, Rose, you may need to lock her out before you begin!
