Yoga Posture
Sirsasana
Sirsasana or the
head stand pose is the most important among inverted asanas. In Sanskrit language
the word ‘sirsha’ means ‘head’ and ‘asana’ means pose. Sirsasana is considered the king(Raja) of all
asanas and is usually done at the end of the yoga asana practices in different
yoga classes.
Like all the inverted asanas, Sirsasana posture reverses the pressure of gravity on
the organs helping with many health conditions. It also increases the blood
flow to the brain, head and neck areas.
while doing Sirsasana,
the all body weight has to be borne by the muscles of the hand, neck and
shoulders. Those suffering from spondylitis, slipped disk and other conditions
of the neck and spine should avoid this asana. Also, people with vertigo, high
blood pressure, blood impurities, thrombosis and other heart conditions should
avoid this pose. Pregnant women should take special care and consult a
physician before attempting this pose. Always consult a doctor or a qualified
yoga instructor before taking up the practice of Sirsasana.
