However it should be practiced only after all the problems with neck osteochondrosis are cured (the best practice for it are sarpasana and pivoting poses), because other-wise it can provoke vertebra jamming. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shirshasana isn\u2019t always easy to do. To master it one shouldn\u2019t be afraid to fall on the back, and for this it\u2019s helpful to practice somersaults. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Starting position.<\/strong> In vadjrasana rest on the top of the head, put your hands on the nape (fingers overlap, but aren\u2019t crossed). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Technique.<\/strong> Straighten you back, feet coming to your head, unbending your knees. Take your feet off the floor and carefully straighten them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Effect and action.<\/strong> Shirshasana redistributes the blood in cavities of the body and makes it come to the head, if the neck isn\u2019t jammed in the exercise. The feeling of energy \u00abcoming\u00bb into the head is the sign that asana can be finished. Besides in this posture the muscles, responsible for balance are also energized. Which group of them \u2014 depends on the bearing area, i.e. on how hands are placed (for more details see chapter \u00abAsanas boosters\u00bb).<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-141910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-4.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-4.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-4-300x112.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-4-768x287.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-4-360x135.webp 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Phases of entering Shirshasana<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shirshasana\u2019s variations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-141870 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-kapalasana.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"1015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-kapalasana.webp 295w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-kapalasana-87x300.webp 87w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-kapalasana-149x512.webp 149w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><b>Kapalasana (Shirshasana with arching)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-141915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1346\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-2.webp 1346w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-2-300x251.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-2-1024x856.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-2-768x642.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-2-360x301.webp 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1346px) 100vw, 1346px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Shirshasana with legs apart<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-141920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-3.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"367\" height=\"1092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-3.webp 367w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-3-101x300.webp 101w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-3-344x1024.webp 344w, https:\/\/www.in.yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/a-sirshasana-v-3-172x512.webp 172w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Shirshasana with pivoted spine<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viparita karani (back movement) \u0935\u093f\u092a\u0930\u0940\u0924\u0915\u0930\u0923\u0940 [vipar\u012bta kara\u1e47i] &nbsp; &nbsp; Viparita karani is a very dif-ficult pose.
