Which poses are necessary to prepare for the headstand pose?
Although Sirsasana (Headstand Position) is considered an Improve Level Position, the overall activity in the yoga sequence changes depending on the time of the workout.
When their bodies are so stiff and rigid, some people may have trouble finding a comfortable yoga pose before doing Sirsasana. However, if one wants to perform it after a yoga practice, which may take approximately 45 minutes, the gradual technique to start the body must be followed. If one does this exercise in the late evening or early at night, a few Sun salutations (Surya Namaskar) before this position is sufficient because the body usually opens up more rapidly even when it is weary.
To warm up and prepare the body for the asana, particularly if it is done early in the morning, one can start with Surya Namaskar. Following a modern asana, such as the headstand position, one can practice the following postures: Balasana, Sarvangasana, and Savasana. Here is a summary of how to get ready for Sirsasana.
Tadasana Gomukhasana (Standing Cow Face Pose)
In sirsasana, the elbows, arms, shoulders, and upper abdomen are all severely stressed. Beginning with Tadasana with Gomukhasana will strengthen your arms and encourage upper arm extensions and external rotation.
As you move weight away from your head and neck in Sirsasana, the cow face pose will help you develop an effective upper body basis and a sense of lightness during headstand practice.
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog Pose)
The power, stability, and balance of the downward-facing dog pose will help you improve your Sirsasana practice. Here, the legs are extended to develop the hamstring and hip muscles and improve core stability in the downward pose.
Prasarita Padottanasana (Intense Leg Stretch Pose)
When standing, the feet are spaced apart in a forward bend. By placing the full weight on the head and spreading the feet far apart, this tense preparation for Sirsasana effectively stretches the leg muscles.
How to Perform Headstand Pose?
- Maintaining your elbows behind your shoulders, push your forearms to the ground.
- Put your hands around the opposite elbow. Adjust as needed so that your elbows are shoulder-width apart.
- Release your hands and elbows.
- Tuck your bottom fingertip into your handbasket to avoid compressing.
- Place the top part of your head on the floor. At the top, you should have your head down, not too far forward or back. The back of your head will rest on the bases of your thumbs rather than your hands.
- As in Downward-Facing Dog, raise your hips and straighten your legs.
- To get your hips as close to above your shoulders as possible, carefully move your feet up towards your head.

Which Headstand Pose Follow-Up Poses Are There?
- Relaxing Yoga Positions: Headstand Pose
- To do this, a few poses must be performed right after Sirsasana.
Balasana(Child Position):
Additionally, you should maintain a flexible and light body. This pose relieves tension in the neck muscles and supports the stretched spine in Sirsasana. The hip is controlled in this posture.
Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand Position):
Use the back to supine behind technique to adjust into Balasana (Child Position). Stretch your arms and legs and hold the posture for a few breaths after your spine is near the mat or blanket. After that, lift your body such that your shoulders and upper back support all of your weight, and your legs, middle back, and lower back are no longer on the mat. Raise your body higher by bringing your feet just above eye level and using your arms to support yourself close to your hips. Lock your neck and bring your chest close to your neck. This pose will help the neck and spine, which were stretched during the Sirsasana exercise, regain their equilibrium.
Savasana (Corpse Position):
To adjust to the full body in Savasana, breathe slowly and maintain the head, trunk, and limbs parallel to the mat. Reduce the force of your breathing and let your whole body relax. Here, take several breaths.
Headstand Pose Level-Up Follow-up Positions:
Sirsasana, often called the King of the Asanas, is the strongest of all the yoga positions. Different leg placements are used in some forms of this position, though. A list of these variations is provided below.
(Angle Position) in Headstand:
When the body is constant, start with your knees out and perform Namaste with your feet in the air. The head will be placed under a significant amount of tension if the feet are not properly positioned.
Eagle Legs in Headstand:
Once your strength in Sirsasana has increased, carefully place your foot above the other leg, connecting your thighs with one knee, and stand up in the Eagle Position. After a few moments, move in the opposite direction and change the posture of your thighs.
Twisting Splits in Headstand:
Dissimilar to the first variation, perform them forward and backward with the legs spread wide. Before separating them anteriorly and posteriorly, make sure you’ve worked out one leg first, as this imbalance could result in the neck being tight and the body falling.
Lotus legs in Headstand:
One can go deeper into the position by performing the legs in the Lotus Position (Padmasana) and alternating them. However, this position needs to be practiced when seated because it is hard to form in the air. To achieve this level of Sirsasana, it is better to do the Lotus position while seated, when the flexibility of the legs will make it less difficult to enter the pose without using your hands.
Which Headstand Pose techniques are best for beginners?
- The headstand is a difficult pose. Some trainers no longer train it because they feel the risk of the weight on the neck is too great, although the fact that it is known as the King of Pose because of its potential benefits.
- Considering these instructions are meant only to be a guide, we recommend practicing in front of a trainer who can help you with your position.
- Strengthening your arms, shoulders, and core is an important initial step, regardless of whether you choose to practice the complete position. This preparation work is more challenging than a headstand in many ways, but it will help your general yoga practice, so be patient.
- Exercises that strengthen the core will help with any inversions. Just keeping the Plank position and Downward Dog for one to two minutes is a great place to start. To get used to being upside down with no weight on the neck, practice the dolphin posture next, then a handstand or forearm balance.
What is the Headstand Pose’s Breath Awareness?
- Exhale by placing the top of your head close to your palms, then your body close to your palms.
- Exhale to lengthen your spine and take your knee back up after raising it off the mat or blanket with another inspiration.
- To get your body ready for the pose, tighten your knees and shoulders as you release the breath. Then, keep your toes towards your chest as you walk.
- Make moving currently, focus on the tightness in your neck and upper head, and breathe while being mindful of your body.
- Keeping your back straight and your legs in line with your hips, neck, and chest, lift both of your feet off the mat or floor as you release the breath and put the legs in a 90-degree position.
- As you exhale, apply more pressure to your hips, and as you inspire, raise your body upward. To help the brain get more fresh blood at this stage of the pose, start breathing softly, keep your cool, and smile.
- One leg at a time, move it closer to the floor to get back to your position. The head, shoulders, and neck should then be adjusted by encouraging and directing the complete body to fall into the Child Position.
What are Headstand Pose positioning tips?
- This is permanent when it comes to extended holding.
- Take up the position described a little further down in Modifications, though, as you begin to grasp the function.
- Keep growing your weight on top of your head as your arms support it and provide a protective surface.
- Pull your shoulder blades towards your middle and away from your ears, maintaining an upright position and extended neck.
Which Headstand Pose Types Are There?
Four kinds of sirsasana occur.
- Salamba Sirsasana I – Supported Headstand.
- Salamba Sirsasana II – Tripod Headstand.
- Salamba Sirsasana III – Supported Headstand.
- Niralamba Sirsasana.
Salamba Sirsasana I – Supported Headstand
What is Salamba Sirsasana I – Supported Headstand?
Salamba Sirsasana (Supported Headstand) is a challenging reverse that requires training, mental focus, and strength in the upper and core muscles. Salamba Sirsasana is pronounced, “sah-LOM-bah shear-SHAHS-ah-nah.”
This is a challenging position that you must maintain with a “safety first” approach, despite the many physical benefits, such as strengthening your arms, legs, and core. The secret to this posture is to avoid putting too much weight on your head and neck. As a result, depend on your arms and shoulders for support.
The standard Headstand (Sirsasana) is not the same as this. The opposite side radiates power, class, and control. The Sanskrit phrase Calamba, referring to “with support,” Salamba Sirsasana I comes from the words Sirsa, which means “head,” and asana, which means “posture/position.” In English, this pose is also referred to as a “supported headstand.”
How Can I Perform Salamba Sirsasana I’s Supported Headstand?
To begin, cushion your head and forearms with a doubled blanket or an adhesive pad. Activity your elbows to the floor, keeping them shoulder-width apart. Move around your fingers, roll your upper arms outward a little, and press your inner wrists carefully to the floor. Keeping your arms in position, press your hands over the back of your head. Move your hips upward as if your lower body were in a downward dog. Push your shoulder blades towards your tailbone instead of your back to keep your torso extended and secure your head and neck.
Exhale and raise both feet off the ground at the same time, even if this involves jumping a little off the ground and bending your knees slightly. As you straighten your spine, harden your tailbone rather than the back of your pelvis. Rotate your thigh bones slightly inward and increase the distance between the balls of your feet. Firmly press your forearms down to support your weight rather than your head and neck. Keep your weight evenly distributed across both arms. If you thought of a twist, now straighten your knees.
When performing Salamba Sirsasana for the first time, hold the pose for ten seconds. Come down, expiring while keeping your shoulder blades strong. Hold both feet to the ground at the same time. If you aim to do the Supported Headstand often, increase your continuous duration by 5 to 10 seconds each time. Repeat the exercise seven to fifteen times when you can hold this position for three minutes. Start your gradual increase before increasing your stay to five minutes.

Salamba Sirsasana II – Tripod Headstand
What is the Salamba Sirsasana II Tripod Headstand?
Salamba Sirsasana II is a “grandeur” yoga pose that radiates strength, grace, and beauty, much like other Headstands. It acts as an opening for expressing Sirsasana in its whole form.
The Tripod Headstand is sometimes regarded as an improved form of Sirsasana, though this isn’t always the case. Sirsasana II is just more comfortable for people who find Sirsasana I difficult. That’s most likely because it is like the Headstands, where children were hanged.
It is therefore advisable that you become comfortable with the tripod before moving on to the complete headstand. You won’t have any reason not to try it out and learn the entire version if you set it up correctly and make the necessary modifications. When you raise into the full position, make careful moves to strengthen your control and strength.
How Is the Tripod Headstand in Salamba Sirsasana II Performed?
- Place a four-fold blanket on the floor and kneel beside it.
- Only your left knee should be covered by your left palm. Your palms should be near each other, and your fingers should be pointing straight towards your head. Your palms should remain on the floor no wider than shoulder-width apart. Place your top in the center of the blanket and raise your legs above your head.
- Lift your knees off the floor and straighten your legs once your head is in position. While keeping your toes near your head and your spine straight, lower your ankles to the floor.
- Hold this position for a few seconds while extending the dorsal part of your spine and pushing your chest forward. Take three or four breaths.
- Lift slightly off the ground, raise your legs, and bend your knees as you release the breath. Both feet should be lifted off the ground simultaneously. After you have a secure position, lift your legs, release your breath, tighten your knees, keep your toes up, and keep your balance.
- The balanced position puts both hands and the top of the head on the ground. From wrist to elbow, your forearms should be square to the floor and collateral to each other. From elbows to shoulders, your upper arms should be collateral to the ground and one another.
- If you can balance, follow Headstand’s easy directions and signals.
- This variation of Sirsasana is necessary to learn more difficult postures such as Bakasana (Crane Position), Urdhva Kukkutasana (Upward Rooster Posture), Galavasana (Flying Pigeon Position), and Koundinyasana (Position Dedicated to the Sage Koundinya).

Salamba Sirsasana III – Supported Headstand
What is Salamba Sirsasana III – Supported Headstand?
The headstand position, also called Sirsasana (Headstand posture) iii, is a variation of the base/master yoga pose that calls for stability and shoulder strength at the top of the head. While the base position, also known as the master position, balances the body on top of the head while supporting the head with cupped hands, Sirsasana (Headstand Position) iii uses the palms on the ground for support.

Niralamba Sirsasana
What is Niralamba Sirsasana?
The Unsupported Headstand, or Niralamba Sirsasana, is one variation of the conventional Headstand Position. It is far more challenging to perform than its fundamental asana while you are trying to balance your complete body weight on your head. Your arms are only used to create balance awareness; they are not used for maintaining weight.
The four Sanskrit terms represent the Niralamba Sirsasana method. Nira means “without,” while Lamba means “support.” Sirsa means “head,” whereas asana means “position” or “posture.” In English, Niralamba Sirsasana refers to “Unsupported Headstand.”
Niralamba Sirsasana can be performed in a variety of ways, depending on how you position your arms. Sometimes you can keep them on your sides, and other times you can keep them on the floor on the front side of your body. The muscles in your head and neck support your entire body weight. Again, your arms are there to help you maintain equilibrium when bent.
How to Perform Niralamba Sirsasana?
- Niralamba Sirsasana should be attempted after mastering Salamba Sirsasana, commonly known as the supported headstand. The methods to achieve this pose are the same as for Salamba Sirsasana, except for changing the hands so that the head is the weight of the body. This adjustment needs to be well thought out. One technique, which helps with balance even if it does not support any weight, is to gradually shift the hands to the front of the body on the ground. Professional supporters can even lift their hands off the ground and place them next to the thighs or legs. This required a great deal of skill and equilibrium. It is also possible to remove a wall’s support in the early stages. Additionally, have a companion watch you to prevent falls.
- Just hold the final position for a few seconds at first. Depending on one’s skill and ability, it can be raised.
- As in Salamba Sirsasana, put the hands back on the floor and place them next to the head. The hands now support a portion of the body weight and aid in balancing the forward turn of the lower body. Return to the starting position of Marjariasana by sloping gently. Tadasana can be performed purposefully to help redirect the blood flow from the head to the body. Rest in Shavasana for a few minutes to relax.

What are the Headstand Pose’s precautions and contraindications?
