I woke up one morning this week and out of the blue have a sudden thought to do a headstand. I think my body is sensing that she will be in better health if I am to rotate 180 degrees - legs up and head down for at least a couple of seconds a day. Haha. And I went searching for some proper how to do a yoga headstand in YouTube and I think this is the best video to show you how.
