This is the third in a series of three classes that prepare your body and mind to go upside down into headstand pose (sirsasana). Crista takes everything that you learned in the first two class and helps you establish arm and head placement, the subtle shift of weight and the energy and strength that you need in your body to lift, hold and lower with control. The first class in this series is Headstand Pose: Shoulders and Core and the second class is Headstand Pose: Leg Strength and Flexibility.

You've made the seeming impossible, possible. This series is such a gift - complete, generous, expansive and transformational. I repeated the first two classes three times before attempting this one, and my body and mind were ready. Bless you, Crista. Jai Ma!

Three great videos to understand and grow to headstand.
Also, Crista has a lovely voice - as apparent from this and other practices.
A must do series for everyone who wants to do / has been doing headstand.

That was truly an abundant practise. I loved the variety, and having supta padangusthasana (and variations to core) in the practice along with the inversions. I really feel awesome and thank you so much for the mantra to LAKSHMI.

Could you please provide the words to this chant to LAKSHMI?

It was a very powerful and moving mantra for me!

Namaste from Ireland. ॐ
