Shirshasana, commonly known as the Headstand, is a yoga pose that involves balancing on the head with the body inverted. It is often referred to as the "king of asanas" due to its numerous benefits, including improved circulation, enhanced focus, and increased strength in the upper body and core. Practicing this pose requires proper technique and alignment to avoid strain on the neck and spine. To perform Shirshasana, one typically begins in a kneeling position, interlacing the fingers behind the head for support. The crown of the head is placed on the mat, and the legs are lifted upward, forming a straight line from the head to the toes. It is essential to engage the core and maintain balance while breathing steadily throughout the pose.
