Yoga Pose Headstand BKS Iyengar dangerous advice. शीर्षासन 
sheershaasan. | Sirsasana for beginners

#Yogapose #headstand can be beneficial for some people, however, it can be dangerous for others if precautions are not taken into consideration while performing this yoga pose. It is shocking that Yoga legend #BKSIyengar ill-advised yoga practitioners in his book "Light of Yoga"  to put all the pressure on their head and use arms and shoulder only for balancing purpose in headstand. 

Yoga legend Shri BKS Iyengar stated in his book light of yoga page 187, Hint on Sirsasana point no 2 "The Whole Weight of the body should be borne on the head alone and not on the forearms and hands".

I would strongly suggest every yoga beginners against this idea of #iyengaryoga  for many reasons.

Yoga Pose Headstand (Sirshasana) | headstand progression | Headstand for beginners tutorial

The Yoga pose Headstand or Sirshasana or #Shirshasana is regarded as the “King” of the asanas. It not only inverts your vision of the world, it inverts the pattern of blood pressure in the body – increasing it in the head and dropping it in the feet.

All our physical and mental activities are governed by the brain which is the seat of intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, discrimination and power. As the Headstand increases the blood flow to the brain it revitalises the entire body and the mind and also regenerates the nervous system.

When the reversed flow of blood goes into the legs it helps to regenerate the tissues. During the practice of the Headstand the deep exhalation is happening as the effect of the weight of the abdominal organs on the diaphragm which causes the larger amounts of carbon dioxide and toxins out of the lungs. Practice of this yoga asana provides the feeling of equilibrium and well-being and it increases memory and concentration.

The Headstand inverts the pattern of blood pressure in the body – increasing it in the head and dropping it in the feet: The blood pressure at the top of the head increases from 100/60 mm Hg in a standing position to 150/110 mm Hg in the Headstand The blood pressure of the feet in a standing position will be about 210/170 mm Hg and it will drop to 40/0 mm Hg in the Headstand. The blood pressure will remain the same at 120/80 mm Hg at heart level.

Benefits of Headstand:

1. It increases the blood flow to the brain, revitalizing the entire body and mind
2. It enhances deep breathing
3. It relieves the pressure on the lumbar and sacral area of the lower back
4. It increases memory and improves concentration

योगा पोज हेडस्टैंड बीकेएस अयंगर खतरनाक सलाह। शीर्षासन
sheershaasan।
योग पोज हेडस्टैंड कुछ लोगों के लिए फायदेमंद हो सकता है, हालांकि, यह दूसरों के लिए खतरनाक हो सकता है अगर इस योग मुद्रा को करते समय सावधानी बरती जाए। यह चौंकाने वाला है कि योग किंवदंती बीकेएस अयंगर ने अपनी पुस्तक "योग का प्रकाश" में योग चिकित्सकों को सलाह दी कि वे अपने सिर पर सारा दबाव डालें और हथियार और कंधे का उपयोग केवल हेडस्टैंड में संतुलन साधने के लिए करें। मैं कई कारणों से एमआर अयंगर के इस विचार के खिलाफ हर योग शुरुआती लोगों को दृढ़ता से सुझाव दूंगा।
