This lesson explores various modifications for Sirsasana (Headstand).

These variations are helpful in several situations: when recovering from a neck injury, needing extra support, developing shoulder blade awareness, working with traction and breath, or using wall support.

Using props enhances our practice by deepening our understanding and allowing us to hold poses longer without strain. Take your time exploring these modifications—each one offers unique benefits.
