Crush Your Headstand Goal With This Simple Progression

This pose will strengthen your core as well as your upper body.

• Begin in Down Dog. Lower onto your forearms and walk your feet out. Your body should be in one straight line with your shoulders directly above your elbows.
• Hold Dolphin Plank for five breaths. If it's too difficult, lower one or both knees to the floor.
• For more of a challenge, and to strengthen the upper body and core even more, do a few Dolphin Dives.
