[eatingoutfan]

i can do a head stand with the assistance of a wall..but how do I transition to not having to use the wall?

[FreeYogaVideos]

@cookielover1213 Once you can work at the wall and not touch it you are ready . It takes a little time , just keep at it .

@cookielover1213 Learn to Press up, you'll have control through all ranges of motion ;) 

[sucemabiteconnasse]

This guy is hot

[realmadridwebas]

This man makes it look easy :D !

But I actually like this, I heard it's actually useful for the body muscles too as the brain makes use of this too, is it true ?

[louisa147]

i hurt my self lol

[FreeYogaVideos]

@louisa147 Be careful and do this against the wall if you are unsure and do not put the weight on your head until you are ready.

[yoyoyoga1]

[marqizaa]

i got my finger smashed after this asana cos i've lost balance

[FreeYogaVideos]

Just a Note to everyone as it seems from some comments that people are not listening to the instructions on this one. A piece of advise LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTIONS, please when you are learning. You can get hurt. If the audio says do do this against the wall or go as far as you can or 905 of the weight is on your arms . That is what you must do to make the quickest progress. Keep at it everyone .

Namaste

Hey I have been running through your videos and there are some good simple instructions but really, don't you think it's a bit irresponsible to be teaching this kind of posture via a video where anyone at all can, as you suggest, hurt themselves ?

It's all very well to say "LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTIONS" but is that really enough ? If you had a student in your class who was clearly not doing this safely would you even let them do it ? Even against the wall ? Yet anyone at all can try this at home

[FreeYogaVideos]

It depends where you come from. I do think putting products like Soft Drinks and cigarettes on the market is irresponsible and people need to make a choice in life. But it happens on a global scale. Should 1000 people lose the benefit of doing this healing posture because a few people can't listen to instructions? Maybe in Nanny State it would be irresponsible, I do how ever believe in a world where people need to take real responsibility for their lives and have the information to help.

[cspace1234nz]

That's an interesting answer and as you suggest, it depends where you are coming from.

So I guess if a 1000 people were to miss out on a headstand video because of a few people who are unable to follow instructions in the appropriate way then it would be ok for one person out of say even 10,000 to break their neck ?

The reason I made my original comment is that I personally know someone who for about 8 years now has been recovering from a broken their neck doing a headstand off a video.

[FreeYogaVideos]

Headstand is Perfectly safe it done properly . I hope that person recovers and off course it is not ok for someone to break there neck. With that Logic we could stay that a Graphic anti smoking advert might caused Physiological damage to one person and they might jump in front of a train . So they did not show it and we had 1000 more smokers which are terminal. We can apply fuzzy logic to anything. Stuff that you can buy from the Supermarket is killing people left & right in high %.

[FreeYogaVideos]

And it happens every day . If 1000 people stand on there head for 10 mins a day and realize they don't need Nicotine,Sugar , Alcohol . There might be 100 lives saved in 1000 maybe 1 in a Million might break their neck, because it is acute it does not mean it is more important . So 999 more people lived longer healthier lives .

There are plenty of headstand videos on YT and one that offers the safest instructions is left off would not make sense. Please all take note of cspace1234nz warning!!

[RonWarc]

I JUST DID THE SAME THING WITH MY FINGER THIS MORNING!!!! It's ridiculously swollen and I'm wondering if I fractured it, or just sprained it. When I was up, I lost balance, and rolled forward with my head and all my weight on my inter-laced fingers. Definitely won't be interlacing my fingers anymore with this. I'll make a fist instead and wrap the other hand around it!

[FreeYogaVideos]

@RonWarc I only just saw this . You can get shoulder imbalances. Ideally you do it on the wall or learn to roll our properly.

[MrMicw]

I've just started doing headstand. My problem is: I can't keep my back straight and my butt feel heavy and i can't lift my legs up. Is it because i don't core strength? Also when i walk forward my hands will lift up a little? Any remedy?

[FreeYogaVideos]

As per the post below . Maybe use the wall . It takes time . Yes the core comes in to it and that also takes time to build.

[gracieno55]

a lot of my weight goes onto my head and it hurts a bit, am i doing it wrong? my arms dont seem strong enough to hol my weight.(btw, i am 15, is yoga okay to do, because sometimes if you are young fitness stuff is bad for you, i hope this isn't :P)

[FreeYogaVideos]

As per the instructions 90% of the weight should be on your Arms. As per the instructions please only go as far as you can if the weight is all on your head keep the legs on the floor. It may take another 6 months before you go up . You have to build the strength first in the arms then the nexk . Yoga is a process 15 is fine for Yoga as long as you practise properly . Namaste Al

[gracieno55]

thank you, im glad its okay to do yoga coz its realy fun! :P

[MsDoggieLover]

okay thanks! I <3 free yoga videos!

[MsDoggieLover]

I can only get one leg up.

[FreeYogaVideos]

That is fine . Just do that then.

[massrunner]

True, and thank you for a WONDERFULLY informative and mindful video. I have been doing headstand for at least 4 months now, at first against a wall, until I had assurance, then gradually away from the wall. Have I fallen? Yes, but not uncontrollably, thanks to not taking it too fast and BEING CAREFUL in the pose. Please be patient and careful. Only take this at your own pace. And, thanks once again, for a great series of videos. Namaste

[FreeYogaVideos]

Well said and good work . Keep up the headstand it is the grand daddy of yoga poses. It helps rejuvenate the brain and nervous system and the opposite gravity helps all sorts of things.

[massrunner]

That is so funny, not only is the handstand the grand daddy of poses, but so am I. I started practicing yoga handstand 4 months ago when I was 49 and today I am 50. Thanks to yoga, still feeling great!

[MsDoggieLover]

You make it look so easy! Do you have any advise to make it easier?

[FreeYogaVideos]

Just go as far as you can . You do not need to go up into the full headstand at the start . Just work with it slowly .

[wawen89]

[gab9876]
