BAH-dah hahs-TAH sheer-SHAH-sah-nah C
An advanced headstand variation performed with bound hands, where the legs are in a wide-legged forward fold position (similar to Prasarita Padottanasana) while inverted. It challenges profound balance, core strength, and hamstring flexibility, demanding precise control and mental fortitude.
From Bound Hand Headstand, spread legs wide to a forward fold.
Keep legs straight and active, torso perpendicular to floor.
Maintain strong core and shoulder engagement.
Requires a stable Bound Hand Headstand and significant hamstring/adductor flexibility.
Press through forearms and head firmly, establishing a strong base.
Stack the hips directly over the shoulders, with the torso falling forward from the hips.
Keep the legs straight and strong, reaching through the heels or balls of the feet.
Engage the core deeply to support the lower back and maintain stability.
