Benefits of yoga handstand

The handstand posture distinguishes yoga from other sports.

Psychologically speaking, handstand makes us look at things from a completely different angle. Emotionally speaking, handstand will guide the energy of pelvic region (creativity and personal energy) to the heart, help us explore ourselves and promote internal growth. Physiologically speaking, handstand stimulates the immune system and endocrine system, making the brain and internal organs full of vitality and nutrition. If the handstand posture is correct, it can also help relieve the tension and pressure on the neck and spine.

Because headstand and shoulder handstand have countless benefits, they are regarded as the king and queen of yoga postures respectively. According to Ayurveda's Indian health care theory, handstand helps us to develop our mobility (fire element) and improve our creativity (air element). Shoulder handstand teaches us to do nothing, and our hearts are as stable as earth (earth element); It also cultivates our ability to stay still and reflect (water element). Headstand makes us more alert and focused, while shoulder stand makes us more calm and tolerant.
