Crush Your Headstand Goal With This Simple Progression

Walking into headstand also requires strong abs. Boat Pose is all about your core.

• Sit on the floor, bend your knees, and pick your feet up off the floor.
• Sit with a straight spine and straighten your legs as much as you can before your back begins to round. It's OK to have the knees bent into the chest — you're still working your core!
• Extend your arms out in front of you and hold for five deep breaths.
