This class explores the seven headstands of the Second Series, each built from the same core principle: setup is the pose. We begin with Śīrṣāsana A and its crouch-and-spring entry—either in two parts (crouch, then shoot legs up) or one decisive spring straight to vertical. Students practice pausing midway, balancing in a squat before extending, and using the wall for feedback when fear sends the legs forward instead of up . From there, the session moves into tripod and forearm-based variations. Students train drills like thigh-to-chest, heel-to-seat, and single-leg extensions, sometimes stepping onto blocks to find true vertical. Each version tests the same essentials: strong arm foundation, compact torso, and legs dense with strength and reach. Later variations—bound-hand, parallel-forearm, and elbow-tripod foundations—are approached step by step, with emphasis on bracing the arms, grounding the elbows, and keeping weight off the head. Every transition is a crouch-and-spring, reinforcing rhythm and confidence. The essence: the seven headstands are not seven unrelated tricks but seven foundations of the same principle—arms as the leader, legs powering upward, and setup determining success. With clear stages, wall support, and precise drills, fear gives way to alignment, strength, and fearless vertical balance.
