Tired of me talking Detox yet?
Detox or not, this super cleansing Yoga pose will make you feel amazing: Headstand (Sirsasana)!

One of my fav's, Headstands (or any inversions) are a complete yoga practice in and of themselves. Hailed the "King of Asanas" due to its tremendous benefits, Headstands stimulate the brain and spine, re-oxygenate your entire blood system- sending a fresh supply to the head and brain, tone all your vital organs, strengthen the midsection, stimulate the endocrine glands, tone the arms and legs and overall promote balance- not just physically but mentally and emotionally. In a word, a total body work-out!

How to get into a headstand (For beginners, please do this against a wall!):
-Start in Dolphin (which is a downward dog on your forearms. Arms separate shoulder width apart).
-Interlace fingers, release thumbs.
-Place head down in between hands on the floor, cup the back of the head with hands and place thumbs at the base of head.
-Walk the feet closer into the body- as close as you can, until the hips almost align with the body.
-Press into forearms and start kicking up one leg at a time until both legs are up.
-Squeeze legs together, engage abdomen, straighten the back and breathe deeply in/out thru the nose.
-Keep pressing into forearms.
-Finally, reach out thru the heels. I know, it's not as attractive as pointed feet, but flexing your feet as if the ceiling was pressing against them gives you an extra stretch behind the legs and also activates the front leg muscles- giving you added benefits while you invert.

Try this super detoxifying, energizing and fun pose everyday- in between commercials, in between study breaks, at the park, etc. Each time you end up here, try taking a few more breaths than the last time. 

See things from a different perspective. In a constant battle between the head and the heart, let the head lose. No thoughts allowed! The heart triumphs over the head in this wonderful pose...
