HALF SHOULDERSTAND

Ardha Sarvangasana

Lying on your back, bend your knees and swing your legs up overhead, bringing your hands up to support your lower back and hips.

1 - Press your shoulders downward.

 

To release the posture, bring your knees toward your chest and allow your hands to slide down your legs as you roll down, tucking your chin to your chest.

2 - Press your feet away from your hips.

Hold the posture. Breathe.

Benefits:
- Improves the flow of blood and energy to the brain, stimulates mental functions, improves memory and concentration and can relieve some headaches.
