Want to Stand on Your Head? A Yoga Sequence to Get You There

Now you're ready to learn the prep poses for Bound Headstand.

Come to sit so your back is a few inches away from a wall. Interlace your fingers and tuck your bottom pinky in front. Place your hands and the top of your head on the floor so your palms are cupping the back of your head. Lift your knees off the floor and straighten your legs. Walk them toward your face as much as you can, trying to shift the weight of your hips over your shoulders. Hold here for five deep breaths.
