Modifications and Variations
With proper alignment and regular practice, the shoulderstand pose may provide many health benefits to your spirit, mind, and body. Below are some modifications and variations that you can try to make it more effective or reduce discomfort:
– Put a firm, folded blanket under the shoulders for added support. This would also help avoid neck injury. Make sure to keeo your neck and head off the blanket
– People with large breasts or tight shoulders may add more blankets to get more support and comfort
– If you do not have strong abs, do not lift both legs simultaneously. Instead, lift each one at a time
– If you are experienced, try different leg positions, such as Wide Angle, Lotus Pose, or Bound Angle. [6]
