Tripod headstand! Use a little towel for extra padding if you're not used to having your head on the ground, use the wall if you need a little security.
A lot of students ask 'My headstands are always senget (slanting), how to I get it straight?' Things to try:
💡 Look to the other side of the room (instead of looking up to your feet or down to the mat) in your headstands
💡 Bring the knees higher to point forward before you straighten the legs
💡 Work with both pointing or flexing your feet. Sometimes flexing your feet and imagining grounding them towards the ceiling as though there's a floor there helps. For some people pointing the toes help them feel lengthened. There are also some who feel that flointing helps - imagine Barbie feet.
To be honest I don't think there's a foolproof way to anything in yoga. We all have different body structures and we all evolve so it's more important to experiment and find out what works for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📷 1) Getting into a Tripod Headstand. If you can't bring your forehead to the knees then place your palms further forward. The idea is to have your elbows bent close to 90deg when coming into a tripod. I always emphasize not to collapse the shoulders towards the ears as well - you don't want a sore neck
📷 2) Alternative method of 'measuring' where to place your palms and head. It's called a tripod because you're essentially creating a 3 point balance just like a tripod
📷 3) How hamstring flexibility affects inversions
📷 4) Some other variations that you can play with once you're stable
Have fun and play safe! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
