Haven't been practicing like I should, but still remember how to do them. Why don't I do one daily anymore? I don't know. 🙁😕 I guess cos I just feel less accomplished with them since gaining weight back, they are more of a struggle. I'm sure I'd be more comfortable with them if I did them more frequently. It's kind-of a self-fulfilling prophecy thing. 😟

How did you start doing headstands? I've tried but it hurts the top of my head. Is that normal?
Hey! Yeah, that’s very normal. I started by using folded up towels under my head and on a floor that was covered with those rubber ‘play room’ mats, but even so, it did hurt and I only stayed up a short time at first, even against the wall. Over time, my head got used to it ... or got harder (?? haha!) and my neck, shoulders, and core also gained strength.
Make sure you are on the TOP of your head. You don’t want to be too far forward or back or you risk injury to your neck, also, most of the weight needs to be in your ARMS, not on your head/neck. Think about lifting your head off the floor with your arms when you’re in a headstand to take the weight off your head.
We had a fill-in for our regular hot yoga teacher and he did headstands as part of his practice/class, so that was where I was first introduced to them (and I sucked so badly!), but I also watched many videos about them to try and gain any tricks. There really aren’t any tricks -- practice, practice, practice.
Here is an answer I posted a while back that has a couple of video links in it for beginner headstands that might help.
Let me know if I can help further!
Headstand #290
With some core work bonus.
Tried super-hard to lift both legs up off the ball at once and into a headstand, like grunting with effort hard ... but it didn’t happen. Best I could get was up on tippy-toes on the ball. More core work to be done.
Headstand #262
(I sped it up so it’s not so long)
Had a couple of major wobbles, but I held it, so yay! :D
