MOOK-tah hahs-TAH sheer-SHAH-sah-nah B
An extremely advanced headstand variation where the arms are extended straight behind the head (away from the face) with the palms facing upward (backs of the hands on the floor). This position provides the smallest base of support among the free-hand variations, requiring peak core stability and absolute balance.
From Tripod Headstand, reach the arms straight back past your ears (behind the head).
Turn the palms up so the backs of the hands are on the floor.
Lift into headstand, rooting through the backs of the hands and the crown of the head.
The foundation is the crown of the head and the backs of the hands reaching behind you.
Since you cannot grip the floor, use the pressure of the hands to anchor the balance.
Maintain a tight vertical line from head to heels.
Keep the shoulders drawing away from the ears to protect the neck.
Engage the core and pelvic floor deeply to anchor the balance.
