How to do Supported Headstand
- Keep your head still and your neck aligned with your spine.
- Establish firm arm support before moving your feet.
- Walk your feet toward your torso only while your arm support stays steady.
- Keep pressing through your arm support rather than sinking into your neck.
- Extend your legs upward without swinging them or arching your lower back.
- Reach through your toes without gripping or curling them.
- Bring your ankles over your hips without forcing a perfectly straight line.
- With your feet grounded, lower your knees while keeping your arms supportive.
Benefits
The strength required for headstand includes your arms and abdomen, not just the position of your head.
