Salamba Sirshasana- Supported Head Stand Pose

Translation & Meaning

Salambia means with support
Sirsa means head (after lyengar)
Asana means pose.

Many consider sirsasana to be the most important and beneficial asana in yoga because it feeds a supply of fresh oxygen-rich blood to the brain cells as well as to the pituitary and pineal glands. It had many only benefits too which are listed in the "benefits" section of my blog.
