called the king of asanas. By reversing the usual effects of gravity, it gives the heart a rest, refreshes the mind, and brings renewed vitality to the whole body. Practiced with patience and proper alignment, it can improve concentration, build confidence, and develop steadiness in both body and mind.<\/p><p>Headstand is not about force. It is a posture of balance, breath, and awareness. With the right foundation and gradual progression, it becomes a powerful and transformative practice.<\/p><h3>Contraindications<\/h3><p>Do not practice Headstand if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, a detached retina, a neck injury, or an infection affecting the head, ears, or sinuses. It should also be avoided during pregnancy and menstruation. If you have any medical concerns, seek professional advice before practicing.<\/p><p>Stop immediately if there is discomfort in the neck, pressure in the head, or any sense of strain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f7bb45 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"
