Shirshasana (Headstand) is called as king of all asanas and king of all yoga poses. Keep reading this article to know all the major benefits of Shirshasana.
The headstand, known as the King of All Yoga Poses, offers numerous benefits that make it an invigorating and energizing yoga pose. This article explores why it holds such a prestigious title.
Sometimes in yoga, we face our worst fears and develop courage and endurance that we didn’t know we possessed.
Initially, attempting a headstand can be intimidating, as it involves turning our world upside down. However, learning this skill can open up new possibilities and transform our practice.
The Sirasanana (meaning headstand pose), has a remarkable anti-gravity effect. This posture improves blood circulation and revitalizes internal organs, restoring their efficiency.
Yoga guru Mini Shastri highlights the benefits of inverted postures like the headstand, which assist the venous flow of blood towards the heart and strengthen the heart muscles.
Practicing the headstand powers up the Apana Vayu, a downward and outward flow of energy in the body.
This pose stimulates the sluggish Apana Vayu, enhances the digestive fire (Agni), and aids in cleaning the intestines.
Improved digestion and the release of congested blood in the colon are among the benefits of this energizing pose.
The headstand requires patience and consistent effort to build stamina and gradually increase the duration of the pose.
Starting with shorter durations, such as one to two minutes, allows the body to adapt to the posture’s demands. With time and practice, one can extend the duration to at least five minutes.
While the headstand can be practiced daily, it is advised to avoid it during a woman’s period cycle. Practitioners should consider the timing of their practice, opting for daytime.
