Headstand drill at the wall teaching the classic two-part transition into Sirsasana. Start by working the setup position as its own pose: forearms stamping down, shoulders lifting, upper back braced, hips high. From there, come into squatting headstand—upside down with fully flexed knees and hips. Work through a series of drills: shoot one leg up to vertical at a time (alternating legs), then shoot both legs up to vertical. Add variations like drawing one thigh to chest, then the other, while stabilizing the rest of the body. The wall is there for support if you need it. Each position—setup, squat, vertical—is treated as its own distinct pose. **Benefit:** Builds the strength, control, and confidence needed to come up into Sirsasana in the middle of the room without kicking or momentum; develops core stability and shoulder strength for all inversions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
