@@AnitaGoaWellBeing Hi Anita! It is great seeing you again. I hope all is well with you. Anita I have been practicing the headstand for over 2yrs now , i brought a yoga headstand months ago and started using it about 2 weeks ago. Can you tell me, do you receive the same benefits using the yoga headstand as you do with the regular headstand like the one's performed in your vidoes?

Great demonstration...I am a beginner and this vid is very simple and encouraging. Key take away - it's not about strength but stacking correctly, got it 👍

Thank you for sharing. Glad it was helpful. Happy practice 🙃

Hey Anita, One of your former students here (circa 2005). I loved this video! So uplifting and encouraging. It was not listed in the contraindications, but something I feel that it's important for students to know is that placing significant weight on the head can speed up disc degeneration and lead to a herniated disc. The healthy way but hard way to practice headstand is to build up the strength to 95% of the weight on one's elbows and forearms, and to use the head just a bit to help keep balance. And of course, there are also great props available like an Iyengar sling or a yoga headstand bench.

Hello Avi - What a wonderful surprise to see you here. I hope you are well. Thank you for sharing this with me. I have not heard this. Can you guide me to the literature that has discovered it speeding up the process to herniation of disks? I’d love to look closer into it 🙏💗

Hey!!! Are you doing KZbin videos again… I’m super excited about this if you are. I truly have benefited from your platform here especially with your foam rolling videos. This headstand tutorial was excellent.

Hello Pem - What a lovely message to get. Thank you 🙏 Yes! I am pondering a comeback ;-) Be on the lookout for an update video in September where I’ll ask what the community might be interested in. If you have any requests let me know 🥰
