Sirsasana

1. If you are a beginner, practice near a wall

2. Coming to your knees, make a triangle with your hands and interlock your fingers together, palms open, and place your forearms down.

3. Place the top of your head down on the yoga mat in between your hands.

4. Take some of the pressure off of your head into your forearms.

5. Bend your knees, bringing your heels to your seat. The knees will still be in towards the chest. Once you have successfully obtained balance here, begin to straighten at the hips, bringing your knees towards the sky. Then slowly straighten the legs. Hold for 10-15 breaths.

6. To come out of the pose, bend the knees first, then bend at the hips, slowly coming down to the mat. Stay in Balasana or Child's Pose for 5 breaths before lifting the head.
