Shoulder Stand Sequence:Yoga Sequence For Shoulders

Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand Pose), is called the 'queen of yoga poses.' while Sirsasana (Headstand Pose) is referred to as the 'king of yoga poses.' The practice of the former is commonly seen across various styles of yoga and is therefore a common yoga pose. Considered a simple inversion, this falls under the intermediate level and, when practiced daily, has positive effects both on the body and the mind.

The yoga sequence given below with Shoulderstand (Salamba Sarvangasana) as the peak pose, starts with the warming up of the arms and the shoulders. It then gradually moves towards yoga poses for opening the shoulders and the neck while building flexibility and strength. A strong neck helps to support both the body and the shoulders for the practice of this peak pose in the sequence. Gradually moving into this sequence then, are the prone yoga poses, where the focus is on deep stretching of the shoulders and the chest. Finally one comes to the practice of the peak pose before ending it with a counter yoga pose as a forward bend for relaxing the neck and the shoulders.
