[@jamilajariwala]

The biggest tip I’d give anyone and everyone trying to do a headstand with the proper balance is practice! You don’t realize how much all those failed attempts are actually massive wins in teaching your body what to do and what not to do etc, I practiced a few times a week for four to five months with additional weekly yoga as well and it’s finally come to the point where I don’t need to try extra hard to get my core engaged and keep my shoulders strong, it’s almost like muscle memory now and it really pays off and feels good to get to this point, practice as much as you need to and you will 100% get better stronger!

[@BlessedYoga]

Absolutely!

[@allai8176]

Jamila J agree. Even just lifting one foot and then the other in upside down positions helps me feel stronger

[@hairandknits4827]

Wow

im really paranoid about rolling on my neck and dying... I guess ive watched too many final destination movies

[@anonymous_615]

Even I was paranoid about the same. But when I tried I did fail and landed on my back pretty hard. I didn't get hurt because it was just a 2 seconds impact. And my neck was totally unharmed. So you may place pillows in front of you.

[@normadiaz9726]

Same here

Omg ! I do feel pressure on my neck. 😭😭😭 But I will keep trying 😰

What is really interesting is that 10 minutes of this and you’ve got your workout for the day. Seriously, it’s a great workout.

[@belainverso7455]

I thought I was having trouble engaging my core after I couldn’t stay up for long after practicing for a week or so but then I did it perfectly while stoned in a parking lot so a lot of it is getting over the fear of falling even if you don’t think you have one

[@BlessedYoga]

Haha well you found your problem then didn't you! Fear of falling can really restrict our bodies from actually moving into the poses we want to. So glad you got it :) !

[@yamomzaho]

amazing story lmaooo! now gotta try that.

[@13jeepgirl]

That’s hilarious and a great point. Fear is often what holds us back.

This is legit! Was able to do a headstand on my first day of practice. Didn't even know it was possible! Your tips on the hands, the center of the head and how to carry my legs up really help.

[@nafisamohammad1952]

Hey! Thanks for the technique. It really helps. I was able to do a headstand on my 3rd day with wall support:)

I will come here and edit everyday for my headstand journey💕 Day one: I can lift my legs but can't balance in the air so I had to tuck n roll😂I don't feel any pain from doing it so I can call this is a great start. Day two to five: I did not attempt any headstand since I was on period Day six: I can now balance with my knees bent in the air. But my wrists hurt a lot for now😂 current process at 10:10 Week two: I can now do headstand with one folded leg😍 I will keep trying till I get the full headstand.

Thanks for showing how to fall safely with the tuck and roll. Once I learned that I wasn’t as scared to practice away from a wall and I progressed much faster and got into my headstand today. Just day 2 of practicing!! You explained this so much better than any other instructor so I am now a subscriber to your channel and can’t wait to see the rest of your content!

I need to say, I was really frustrated those days... I always did - since years - with my back in the wall and then I decided to practice a bit far and I got scared and couldn't go up anymore. I tried now and I finally did it!!!!!!!!!! I got so exited that I couldn't stay in the position anymore but I'm really happy, I could found and feel my balance for the very first time. I'm really happy and exited to practice more and more. Thank you for the video ❤️

Ive watched tons and tons of videos for learning headstand but idk never succeeded.... i just tried following your method and i was finally able to lift myself up slightly IM SO GLAD!!!!!! Thnx a lot :D

[@devieilleroche]

Thank you so much! I finally made it (against a wall though). I tried once with the typically wrong kicks that you mentioned, and injured my pelvis (not very serious, just bruise and pain for several weeks). I thought it was because I wasn’t strong or flexible enough. Now I understand that I just need to know the proper way.

[@rajshreepardeshi3616]
