Salamba Sirsasana I

Salamba Sirsasana I [1] is an Asana. It is translated as Supported Headstand Pose I from Sanskrit. The name of this pose comes from "salamba" meaning "supported", "sirsa" meaning "head" and "asana" meaning "posture" or "seat". It is a variation of Sirsasana or Headstand Pose.

Benefits

  1. This pose strengthens the arms
  2. Neck and upper back
  3. Promotes blood flow to the internal organs of the torso (since it is an inversion)
  4. Creates balance.

cautions

  • Be careful while doing this pose if you have high blood pressure, neck, shoulder or back injuries. Avoid this pose if you are pregnant or menstruating.
