Inversions play an important role in Iyengar Yoga and are frequently practiced. The Iyengar Yoga Headstand is especially beloved by many (myself included 😉).
In this video, I demonstrate Salamba Sirsasana (headstand) with support. I highlight 4 different configurations, all using yoga blocks.
Learning how to do a supported headstand is a wonderful option for Iyengar Yoga beginners, for students looking to refine their headstand alignment, and for Intermediate Iyengar Yoga practitioners keen to further their understanding of fundamental actions.
Headstand with blocks can also provide students with confidence as they begin exploring variations such as Eka Pada Sirsasana, Parsva Sirsasana, and Viparita Karani in Sirsasana.
In this video, you'll have the opportunity to explore Supported Sirsasana using 2 bricks, 3 bricks, and 4 yoga bricks.
Believe it or not, the various setups highlighted in this video barely scratch the surface of the ways that headstand can be supported in Iyengar Yoga! There are MANY more ways to use yoga blocks, as well as chairs, benches, ropes, and the wall.
I'd love to hear how you are making out with your headstand journey. If you are interested to learn even more ways to incorporate support, please let me know in the comments. There are so many great ways to practice this multifaceted asana ☺️💜🙏
