Step-By-Step Guide
Follow these steps to perform the shoulderstand pose:
– Start with lying on the back. The upper back should be on a durable folded blanket. Keep your head rested on the mat with the blanket ending in the neck’s hollow. Keep your knees bent and legs outstretched. Palms should be down, while the arms should be close to the body.
– Breathe out and push the lower back into the ground. Breathe in and lift up the leg. Press the palms and arms into the ground
– Sweep the legs over the head and curl your hips up and off the ground. Roll on the back and put the weight to the shoulders and upper back
– Bend the elbows and put the palms on the back for added support
– Stretch the legs to the ceiling. Keep the elbows drawn to each other to lift the spine off the ground.
– Sraw the thighs slightly to each other and put most of the body weight in the arms and upper back
– Stay in the position for 30 seconds and slowly lower the legs to the ground, then roll the spine carefully and slowly back to the ground. [3]
