Variation of Urdva Dandasana

Variation of Urdva Dandasana.
Urdva Dandasana is a preparation for headstand - Sirsasana but can be practiced as a preparation for handstand - like we practiced here.
And also as a preparation for forearm stand.
This asana is very good for building strengths and for overcoming the fear of inversions.
It’s really nice to practice with an assistant or a friend to help, by pushing in your shoulder blades and helping you to keep a neutral spine. To practice any of those versions: sit down with your legs extended forward and your feet touching the wall - in Dandasana.
Where your buttocks touch the floor, this is where your head, arms, or elbows should be. Turn around and climb your feet up the wall to a 90 degree angle from your torso and parallel to the ground. Keep your thighs rotated inwards and active. Feet together or hip width apart.
Enjoy 😉
