You've made it! Now you're ready to try the full expression of the pose.
- Sit facing the wall. Place your clasped fingers and head on the floor about six inches or so away from the wall.
- Straighten your legs and walk your feet toward your head. Bend one knee and tuck it into your chest.
- Using your abs and hamstring flexibility, lift your other leg off the floor so both knees are tucked into your chest, so you're in the pose called Bound Headstand Prep: Tuck.
- With complete control, slowly lift and straighten both legs up, coming into Bound Headstand.
- If balancing is hard, bend one knee and place the sole of your foot on the wall.
- Hold for five breaths. Then slowly bend your knees into your chest, lower your feet to the floor, and rest in Child's Pose.
