One of the most iconic yoga poses, headstand has long been thought to provide countless benefits for its practitioners. In this class with Rachel, we mindfully explore how you can begin to practice this lovely pose. Practitioners with neck issues are advised to practice the preparatory pose (keep the head off the floor). Note: You will need a wall to do the practice.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 5 of Rachel's 7-Day Inversion Challenge.

Loving this inversion series. I've been working on inversions and this has been so helpful. I found it easy to get into headstand from the second option, which was amazing as I've been struggling getting up there. Thank you so much, will definitely be repeating some or all of these classes regularly.

Thank you Rachel! So awesome. I am really enjoying this series. Like other commenters, I liked the second version of headstand better too!

Another great class in this series. Really clear explanations and I love the emphasis on taking it stage by stage. The first version was very challenging but I found the second version much more accessible and it worked for me, so thanks for offering the two options.

Thanks, Rachel! The two versions were really helpful. For me, my flexibility is such that I feel more aware of my core and lat/shoulder strength with version A and feel closer to alignment than with B, even though I am not up either way yet. But getting there with your amazing guidance. Thanks! Along with Crista, Fiji, Jonni Lyn and Tracey’s classes, I hope to make it with dignity, as you say! Anna
