How to warm up before doing head stand in yoga?

Hello, I'm Yoga Xiaoyuer. I'm glad to answer this question. Headstands, translated into headstand in Chinese, is actually a "body handstand". It puts the weight and stability of the body between the arms and the head. Doing so, combined with breathing, can make the body healthier and calmer, so it is known as the king of yoga postures.

What the head handstand needs is the stability of the upper body, the arms and shoulders to establish a stable structure, and the core to stabilize the body forward and backward, so the warm-up of the head handstand is mainly focused on the shoulders, back and core strength.

[warm-up with a handstand]
