Previously we told you a little about inverted asanas. Today we would like to stop at what is, perhaps, one of the most emblematic asanas: Salamba Sirsasana I, the famous “headstand.”
Etymologically, salamba means “with support, support” and sirsa “head,” so we are talking about a supported headstand. This is a detail to consider since, during Sirsasana, most of the body’s weight will fall on the forearms, not on the head.
