8 Headstand Variations Every Yogi Should Try

This backbending variation is probably the most challenging of all the Bound Headstand variations. Just take it slow and only bend as far as you feel comfortable.

• Come into Bound Headstand. Once you feel strong and stable, slowly bend both knees bringing the feet behind you. As your legs lower, gently arch the spine pressing the hips forward to counterbalance the weight of the feet.
• Keep your head on the ground, and press your knees out wide to increase the arch in your spine. Hold here for five breaths.
