We are going to look at taking the feet off the floor – one at a time and then both at the same time if you’re up for it. Remember to watch out for any feelings of compression in the neck – it is always better to come down and reset than to risk injury. You want to be able to hold this tuck shape for at least 5 breaths without too much strain or wobbling before you begin to extend the legs in stage 12. Getting the feet off the ground under control is one of the trickiest parts of headstand so don’t worry if you need to stay at this stage for quite some time to build your stable base. We think that it can be perfect to just do days one - twelve, and repeat them!! Don’t be in a hurry, yogis!
