Head Stand Yoga Pose - How To Do a Headstand for Beginners

[@enzosrecipes8198]

At age 57 I did my first headstand yesterday. If you can get a 57-year-old guy from Brooklyn to do a headstand, you can do anything. You are amazing, Adriene!

Should I be fit and flexible already to do a headstand.. Or with practice can I do it without any other exercises?

[@lindatyler6584]

@@divyasri3873 , I would say I am "medium" fit and not overweight, but I had weak arms. So you can probably try to do the headstand without getting fit first. Let me know how it goes!

[@arveewhere]

I’ve only been practicing yoga for 3 months now and I’m following Adrien’s calendar for July. When I realized this is today’s practice, I was quite sad and afraid to be honest because I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it yet. I was expecting to be disappointed after the video. But then I got through it anyway because I made a commitment to myself to show up to my mat daily. I still wasn’t able to do the headstand like everybody else here but surprisingly I didn’t get disappointed with myself. In fact, I was happy I get to work with my body in building strength with integrity and in being gentle even when I can’t do it yet. Thank you Adriene for what you do. Thanks for this video for not making it feel like we have to be able to do it. In time, I will, but for now, namaste . 🙏🏻

[@isabellegrankvist9458]

Same here!

[@fruzsinafarkas4076]

Same here! Never ever feel that you should be able to do a pose. You would be surprised how many of us can't do it. I couldn't lift both leg so I practiced by switching them. I really felt my muscles.. Still more than I could do a few months ago! 😊 Show up, enjoy your time on mat and do your best without toxic thoughts. Nothing else matter! Congrats on your commitment, you are a star! Sending love ❤️

Be patient and gentle with yourself =) I started Yoga with Adriene around the same time you did. At the time I was doing one of her 30 days yoga journeys but, as a personal goal, I set myself to learn the headstand too. So I would come back to this practice every day after my daily video. On the first day, I couldn't do the full pose either. But I was still very content with myself because this video is built in a way that you feel like she is journeying slowly and mindfully with you and it's very comforting and uplifting. And you know what? To this day, if I were to say what I love the most about headstand, I would definitely say that it was the enjoyment of seeing the pose unfold a little more every day. It's really an enlightening and fulfilling experience to see the concrete results of your progressive and constant effort. Just a bit of daily ( not necessarily daily, I skip practice sometimes) commitment and mindfulness gets you there. And the beauty of it is how you learn to take it easy on yourself, to treat your body with love, respect, and patience and appreciate the short term evolutions that slowly pile up to take you to your goal. And before you even know it, you're doing a headstand! And you look back at your first day and you savor the fulfillment that the journey brings to you. Enjoy! Namaste =)

I first did this yoga practice 1 year ago, I couldn't make it into head stand then. Now one year later, I think I did a little better. I still didn't quite make it into a full headstand, but I tried my best. At the end after trying headstand, and not getting into a full one. I just went to child's pose, and listened to your lovely voice, and breathing. I feel really proud of myself, that I tried, and didn't just think this is to hard I won't do it. I tried, and that feels so good. Thank you so much Adriene, I can't wait for tomorrows yoga, see you there. Namaste. 🙏🧡🦋

[@sun4502]

No pose is too beneficial to risk injury. Don't do any pose if you find it too difficult

[@garyknight1594]

This is definitely the best way to learn the Yoga Headstand. Really important to understand the concept that the forearms take the bulk of the weight & the head only takes 10 >15% of the load. By learning this in stages you will strengthen your forearms and learn the correct technique. Don’t rush, be patient & it will come. The best video instruction on this area, as you would expect from an amazing teacher.

[@solverwriter119]

I have a deep fear of this asana. I never be able to do it. My forearms are weak...

I said 6 months ago this the best instruction on the yoga headstand. Just to qualify, the importance of keeping the integrity of the shoulder girdle is vital. I am 62 and I spent ages with this posture, once I learnt not to collapse the shoulders then the rest of the pose followed quickly. Adrienne is brilliant in that she spends so much time on this principle, which shows the high quality of her instruction. She is an amazing teacher

I can finally do a headstand after practicing over and over again within 3 days!! I've never thought that I would be able to do it! I mean, I'm not a sporty nor flexible girl.. So this is something I'm really proud of. At first I always fall to the front hitting my head so I got to put a bunch of pillows around me. Practicing on the wall is also an option! It'll make it much easier, and when you're ready, you can slowly step back from the wall. Also, don't put your arms too far away from eachother or else you're not gonna balance properly! Thank you sooo much! This video is really helpful!

I have never been able to do a headstand, even during my intensive training with both instructors in person next to me. This morning, I watched your video, did all the preps, and felt like I got it, that I was going to be able to do it.

[@williamb7275]

I was rather excited to see this today on the schedule. It had been five years since last recall doing a headstand. Going in, my arms and right shoulder were already sore. Not wure from what but I made sure to take care and follow the instructions carefully. I would recommend that any beginner, or person returning to this pose after a long while, watch Adriene first, especially when she gets to the part where she cups her hands in preparation for moving the legs upward. Watch each addition after that and then proceed. I did not make a full headstand today, but I did manage my legs bent and up for some moments. Listen to your body and follow the directions carefully. You should not feel strain in your neck. Come down if you do. I had that issue years ago because either I did not push up enough with my arms, or my head was not placed well. Enjoy. Expand day 19. 258 days in a row.

now that's the real definiton of step-by-step.I had tried a few others before without succeeding. but today I managed to do it on my first try without any injuries. yay 😀 thank you !

[@heatherfreeman5274]

Goal for 2020 is to try this eventually!!

Hahaha you dont know whats coming

[@florencebd3436]

Hi from France 😃 I'm 55 and I just did my first head stand this morning. I'm so happyyyyyy 😃! Thank you 🙏

[@paulab5853]

after months of failures, it was YOU and THIS VIDEO that made me do the headstand. unbelievably grateful! I don't know what it is about you, but you rock Adriene

[@rebeccaconklin1679]

As a person who's worked as support to health care providers, I've observed how important it is to give self-love, especially when undertaking challenges, whether physical, mental, social, emotional. Building a challenging yoga pose with such attention to detail and freedom from time pressure is an act of love to the viewer and self-love for those who use this view to build this pose into their practice. Thank you, Adrienne, and happy yoga to everyone willing to share this trip. Namaste

[@blytzbyrn4808]

I did it! I've always been fit, but never the most balanced person. I'm very bottom heavy so I honestly thought this was one of those poses I'd never be able to do. Huge boost for my confidence! Thank you for this!!

[@haleynemeth1918]

Hey Adriene! I just tried this and it was my FIRST TIME EVER doing a headstand. I nailed it immediately! Going slow and building my foundation from the ground up was essential for this. It was so tricky for me to improve strength in my shoulder girdle but once I did that, the headstand came naturally. I'm so proud of myself and showed all my friends and family and I've got YOU to thank!

[@camillebrooks3527]

Blessings to my yoga family. When I was a child, it was very easy. I was on my bed and doing headstand. Can you imagine I'm so scared doing it as an adult. Great practice, Adriene. Thanks, Adriene, for bringing me back to my childhood . Love ❤️. Namaste 🙏

[@samsmith4411]

Love, love, love. Finished this practice with a big smile. Well wished everyone, namaste.

[@JoanneKatzman]

Expand Day 19: When I was a kid my sister and I used to do headstand contests to see who could stay upside down longest, and I never lost my ability to do a headstand, all these decades later (I'm 50+) . I found Adriene's method more challenging than the way I learned. I think it might be helpful to first watch the video, then play it a second time and follow the steps. My husband walked in after I finished the video and I showed him the difference between the two methods. I found that when I did headstand Adriene's method but without watching the video it was easier for me. I found that at the step where I lift my feet and legs there is a lot of core involved! Also, too slow doesn't work, but not too fast either. Again, use your core!

[@gianthefirst]

I didnt think doing a headstand was ever possible until i came across this video! Started off with the wall but wow, this is such a milestone for me. Continue doing what you do, Adriene!

[@sharonscottmiracleh3724]

Day 21 of delight. Only was able to do the first part, but I enjoyed watching how it was done. My goal is to do a full head stand. ❤

[@envice1]

This is too dope!! I learnt to do a whole headstand in 10mins!! Hoping to be doing handstands by this summer. Thank youuuu

[@nidhiraid]

This is the only headstand tutorial you ever need💯 I practiced everyday and achieved this pose in a month🤗

[@aloomey]

I’m out of shape, I have joint problems, but i’m super eager. I really want to be able to hold a headstand for at least ten seconds. I’m going to leave this comment and come back to it. Wish me luck!

[@Zasarka]

I wish you the best luck! I am (at least I thought I was) out of shape as well. But I've been doing the Home journey for like 25 days with some attempts for the headstand... Today I finally made it! Just believe to your body! I didn't expect it so I was super enthusiastic when it happend! My day is much better now. How is your progress?

[@nowbuthow4277]

Hi! How's it going for you currently? I'm on my week 2 and just wanted to know how someone is doing after 2 months of this 😀

[@simoneviebke5424]

I tried this video years ago and failed miserably haha. Now, about 3 years later of semi-consistent yoga I got into a headstand! It's all in the foundation, slowly building strength from the ground up. My shoulders are so tired now, haha, which I guess is GOOD! Thank you Adriene! Xxxx

[@NhungHa-rr6kw]

Thank you for your clear instructions Adriene. I did it after 3 days of practice.

[@phyllissmith4599]

I'm not there yet but maybe tomorrow! I love when you start fromthe absolute basics, Adriene! It makes these postures seem much more accessible. Namaste

[@ciru_jay]

This is the best follow along tutorial for headstand that I could come across. I'll practice the movements everyday for 10-20 minutes until I can do a headstand. I'll update once I'm able to.

[@mariavictoria4853]

I did it!!!!! I did it I did it! Adriene you have changed my life, thank you for sharing your bright light and wisdom with so many millions of people ❤️

[@julianaaraujooo]

It's 2019 and I just found this video. After trying to follow the step by step by other KZbinr and failing and ending up with a neck pain, I finally tried this and I DID IT!!!! It worked on the very first time I tried! Thank you so much, Adrienne!

[@SKiTzGEMINI]

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S 2U and Benji💖😊🙏🏽I am "extremely" happy this journey is called "home". I honestly feel, this journey by far will be my most ultimate. I say this because, when i stumbled upon you (i beleive about a year and a half ago) I was "homeless". For almost a year my children and i had to live in a shelter and it was the utmost horrible experience of our lives. Everyday i tried to practice, i also dedicated myself to staying focused, positive, and strong in order to make my goals come true... i want to thank you Adrienne and my Yoga family(worldwide) for being the first true love and support that I've had in TRULY a very long time. I'm happy to say my children and i have been in our "New" home for about 4 months now💖👏🏽😁 and today was MY day1 in HOME JOURNEY and it felt great AND stiff at the same time but I accomplished it👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😁 my next goal is repurchasing my yoga tools🙏🏽 these hardwood floors are so mean to my bones🤣🤣🤣 Peace Blessings from a ForeignTraveler*TravelinForeigner🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮

[@mrcoolcanon]

That's one of the most useful Yogas. As we all know , Hard work never goes in vain.

[@Kalakar9815]

You re amazing i was trying this for past 1 weak and i was not getting success but just watching your video for 12 min made me successful.. love from india... 🇮🇳❤️

[@carolineportante5361]

I just want to thank you for being the best thing on youtube. I started doing yoga in April of this year, as we were going into lockdown here in California, and watching your videos have literally been keeping me alive during this horrendous year. I am so grateful

[@naomitulipe]

So, I just subscribed because you call us “my friends” and I love that

[@ttijp153]

I MADE IT!!! THANKS SO MUCH! THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST HEADSTAND YOGA TUTORIAL ON KZbin

[@aurigacygnus]

I started with an inversion stool out of fear of injuring myself a month ago. But these steps have helped me get a proper headstand. First up against the wall and then got it after a few tries! Thanks Adriene!

[@rashmijadhav7646]

One of the best headstand tutorials ever! Thanks🙏

[@x96x]

[@MissVindicat]

You always know what I need. Thank you!!

[@louiseclarke7814]

Adriene is such such good teacher. I've been lucky enough to already have a headstand in my practise but I didn't learn in such a precise way. I will definitely warm up to a headstand with this in mind in future. 🙏
