By reversing the body and creating a gentle chin lock at the throat, it encourages circulation, supports the thyroid region, mobilizes the upper spine, and helps quiet mental restlessness. Practiced with steadiness and care, it can leave both body and mind feeling refreshed, clear, and uplifted.<\/p><h3>Contraindications and cautions<\/h3><ul><li>Do not hold Shoulderstand for longer than 30 seconds if you have high blood pressure.<\/li><li>If you have a slipped disc or any painful neck condition, practice only the initial supported stage and do not continue into the full pose.<\/li><li>Keep the head centered throughout the posture.
