Headstand takes meaningful thought and determination. I need to let my thoughts translate into breath, while inverting my body. Instead of rushing into this posture, I move into it; one inhale and exhale at a time.
Some people say this is the “queen of yoga poses” and I kind of agree. Practicing headstand makes me reflect on my self growth and the choices I make. Headstand allows me to conduct choices for myself; not for others. Just because society tell you to do something, does not mean you have to. It intensifies my independence in the most positive light.
Physically, headstand takes our bodies to a deep place. An increased oxygen and vibrant energy are sent to the mind; this opens our clarity of brainwave and focus. Additionally, I find that practicing headstand helps with my anxiety.
