How To Get Wide-Legged Headstands Right Like Alaya F

The headstand pose with wide legs is an advanced-level balancing prone pose. This is one of the many variations of Salama Sirasana.

The practice of this pose requires strength, balance, and flexibility. In this pose, the body is completely inverted and upright, supported on forearms, just like Salamba Sirasana or headstand. This pose stretches the muscles of the entire legs, especially the inner thigh muscles and groin muscles. Stretching the legs wider will require not only leg muscle flexibility but also better balancing and core strength. This upside-down pose will leave you feeling relaxed as all the blood flow rushes to the head and brain. As per Healthline, it also helps with the complaints of regular headaches and migraines.

Benefits Of Wide-Legged Headstands

1. Better Core Strength

This pose gains better core strength, stronger forearms, and overall balance. Since these headstand variations require a little more effort than the base pose, it is required to perform this under the qualified trainer.

2. Functioning Of The Body Organs

The headstand pose with wide legs positively impacts the functioning of the upper body organs. Especially the brain and nervous system. One will feel a rush of blood flow in the face and head. This action ensures the outward flow of unwanted energy.

3. Stretches Body Muscles

Practicing this yoga pose will stretch the inner thigh muscles and the groin muscles. It also increases the flexibility and the range of motion of pubic bones and helps strengthen the body muscles.

How To Do Wide Headstands

There are a few ways to get into this variation. Once you are comfortable in your vertical headstand, begin to open your legs. With the legs wide apart, begin to tilt your pelvis forward. Next, try turning the tops of your thighs and toes down to the floor and your legs up. Press through your heels and up through your inner thighs for balance.

Another variation is that you could start with your feet apart on the floor and lift the legs simultaneously into wide-legged. Next, tilt your pelvis forward and back while lifting and lowering the legs.
