This is a difficult asana, and at first you will not be able to lower your foot to the floor. Gradually, the legs will become more flexible and their backs stronger, and you will be able to fix the foot on the floor without losing balance. The asana strengthens the neck and abdominal walls. The abdominal area is compressed, which stimulates the correct functioning of the abdominal organs
EXERCISE TECHNIQUE
After performing Salamba Sirshasana I, with an exhalation, lower your right foot to the floor in front of your head.
You have adopted a position in which the right leg is lowered down, and the left leg is extended vertically upwards, as in Sirshasana.
At first, you will feel a strong tension in the neck, and the left leg will tend to the floor behind the right. To avoid this, tighten your knees and stretch the muscles of the back of the thighs. Also pull the muscles of the lower abdomen right above the pubis.
The knees and toes should be at the same level and should not move to the sides.
Stay in the asana for 10-20 seconds. Breathe deeply. As you exhale, lift your right leg vertically and linger in Sirshasana.
Exhale as you lower your left foot to the floor. Stay in this position for the same amount of time, and then as you exhale, return to the headstand.
Return to Salamba Sirshasana I, put your feet down and relax.
ATTENTION
When lowering and raising your legs, do not bend them at the knees, otherwise you will lose your balance.
Six months of daily yoga practice is required to perform this asana.
Do not perform this asana without first warming up the neck.
