Headstand Rhythm Circuit: Mountain Climbers, Straddles, and Lotus Flips

12 mins

This circuit builds upper-body strength, leg power, core stability, and balance through expressive headstand leg work. Do three rounds of 30 seconds each with 30-second rests: thigh-to-chest mountain climbers, wide-leg straddle sweeps up to vertical, and tree/lotus flips where you slide the foot into position. Use a wall if needed and keep at least half your weight in your arms. Vary speed from slow and deliberate to more dynamic while staying steady in your base. **This drill develops:** Sirsasana, Pincha Mayurasana, and the upper-body strength, core control, leg coordination, and balance needed for confident inversions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
