@chelseasyoga on Supported Headstand 💞 ・・・ How I learned.... #Sirsasana aka #BoundHeadstand 1. Measure arm placement by reaching for outside of elbows. Interlace fingers and palms remain open. Place crown of head down on the floor (envision where you could balance books if walking 📚😝). 2. Stand legs up and walk feet in (coming off heels), working to stack hips over shoulders. Elbows magnetized toward one another. 3. Roll as high as you can in the toes (find almost weightlessness in feet) and lift knee into chest. Core engages. 4. Try pressing so far forward that maybe you hover the toe and take micro jumps lifting extended foot. 5. Press forearms firmly down to protect neck (head should almost be weightless). Slowly lift other foot bringing both thighs to the chest. 6. Shift center as hips stack over shoulders. Thighs raise up from chest. Pause. Take a few breaths. Check in with your neck and elbows for alignment. If stable, slowly straighten legs up to ceiling. When starting out try staying for 10-15 breaths and exit the same way you came in (one leg at a time). *MAGIC TICKET* Those hips over the shoulders made a HUGE difference for me! It creates a feeling of very light toes that are much easier to lift. Try walking your feet as CLOSE in as you can and THEN roll high onto the toes before lifting the first leg. • Let me know how it goes and if I can help in anyway! 💕 Love love, Chels #yoga #yogatutorial
