    At age 57 I did my first headstand yesterday. If you can get a 57-year-old guy from Brooklyn to do a headstand, you can do anything. You are amazing, Adriene!

    I’ve only been practicing yoga for 3 months now and I’m following Adrien’s calendar for July. When I realized this is today’s practice, I was quite sad and afraid to be honest because I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it yet. I was expecting to be disappointed after the video. But then I got through it anyway because I made a commitment to myself to show up to my mat daily. I still wasn’t able to do the headstand like everybody else here but surprisingly I didn’t get disappointed with myself. In fact, I was happy I get to work with my body in building strength with integrity and in being gentle even when I can’t do it yet. Thank you Adriene for what you do. Thanks for this video for not making it feel like we have to be able to do it. In time, I will, but for now, namaste . 🙏🏻

Congrats on your commitment, you are a star! Sending love ❤️

    Be patient and gentle with yourself =) I started Yoga with Adriene around the same time you did. At the time I was doing one of her 30 days yoga journeys but, as a personal goal, I set myself to learn the headstand too. So I would come back to this practice every day after my daily video. On the first day, I couldn't do the full pose either. But I was still very content with myself because this video is built in a way that you feel like she is journeying slowly and mindfully with you and it's very comforting and uplifting. And you know what? To this day, if I were to say what I love the most about headstand, I would definitely say that it was the enjoyment of seeing the pose unfold a little more every day. It's really an enlightening and fulfilling experience to see the concrete results of your progressive and constant effort. Just a bit of daily ( not necessarily daily, I skip practice sometimes) commitment and mindfulness gets you there. And the beauty of it is how you learn to take it easy on yourself, to treat your body with love, respect, and patience and appreciate the short term evolutions that slowly pile up to take you to your goal. And before you even know it, you're doing a headstand! And you look back at your first day and you savor the fulfillment that the journey brings to you. Enjoy! Namaste =)

    I can finally do a headstand after practicing over and over again within 3 days!! I've never thought that I would be able to do it! I mean, I'm not a sporty nor flexible girl.. So this is something I'm really proud of. At first I always fall to the front hitting my head so I got to put a bunch of pillows around me. Practicing on the wall is also an option! It'll make it much easier, and when you're ready, you can slowly step back from the wall. Also, don't put your arms too far away from eachother or else you're not gonna balance properly! Thank you sooo much! This video is really helpful!

    This is definitely the best way to learn the Yoga Headstand. Really important to understand the concept that the forearms take the bulk of the weight & the head only takes 10 >15% of the load. By learning this in stages you will strengthen your forearms and learn the correct technique. Don’t rush, be patient & it will come. The best video instruction on this area, as you would expect from an amazing teacher.

I thought to skip it but then I did it anyway, halfway during the practice something clicked and I could lift one foot, and then the other. Then I lifted both feet and even though it was far then perfect I ACTUALLY DID A FRIGGING HEADSTAND!!! OMG!!! I really could cry. I did fell over hard after another attempt against the door and my SO rushed to see wtf was wrong with me but at least I know I’d get better with practice!!! Thank you Adriene you’re amazing!!!!!

    I said 6 months ago this the best instruction on the yoga headstand. Just to qualify, the importance of keeping the integrity of the shoulder girdle is vital. I am 62 and I spent ages with this posture, once I learnt not to collapse the shoulders then the rest of the pose followed quickly. Adrienne is brilliant in that she spends so much time on this principle, which shows the high quality of her instruction. She is an amazing teacher

I have never been able to do a headstand, even during my intensive training with both instructors in person next to me. This morning, I watched your video, did all the preps, and felt like I got it, that I was going to be able to do it. So I tried, and I went all the way up and stayed there, with little tears of happiness. I discovered you only a few weeks ago, but I am so glad I did. MERCI !!

    I was rather excited to see this today on the schedule. It had been five years since last recall doing a headstand. Going in, my arms and right shoulder were already sore. Not wure from what but I made sure to take care and follow the instructions carefully. I would recommend that any beginner, or person returning to this pose after a long while, watch Adriene first, especially when she gets to the part where she cups her hands in preparation for moving the legs upward. Watch each addition after that and then proceed. I did not make a full headstand today, but I did manage my legs bent and up for some moments. Listen to your body and follow the directions carefully. You should not feel strain in your neck. Come down if you do. I had that issue years ago because either I did not push up enough with my arms, or my head was not placed well. Enjoy. Expand day 19. 258 days in a row.

I've been able to get into full headstand using a wall but thanks to you, today I got both knees into my chest and managed to balance for a fair bit without tipping over. My only issue now is that when I try to get my legs up, my body automatically tips to where it knows the wall is. Will keep trying away from the wall! :)

Once I could get my feet in the air, I practiced near the wall and slowly inched away from it every time as I became more comfortable. Though surprising enough, the one time I did fall backwards (I tried rushing the before process), it didn't even hurt because you just kinda roll instead of crash.

So I decided to do some extra strength work doing dolphin with Adrienne, by the evening I got up in class with knees bent. Day 3 up with knees bent, and no strain in back or shoulders for 30 seconds, I am giving myself a 30 day challenge, however mentally I feel so much better. Thank you Adrienne for explaining this in baby steps, makes all the difference, my practice is much deeper now, due to this pose, dolphin and pressing into my arms and away from my ears, and into the ground. Not only in this pose however many others too. Thankyou - you are a gem!

    Thank you soooo much! I was kicking my legs in the air 2 days last week and today I finally did it after I watched your video yesterday! For about 5 seconds! Soooo happy

    No broken record. I literally need all this strength building and foundation 🙌🏽

    I am miles away from being able to stand on my head (palsy means I can't build strength in right arm) but definitely got further than I thought in this pose. Thanks Adriene for breaking it down so well! #shift2020

    Thought it would take me so long to ever do a handstand, but had never tried. I just watched this, and successfully got up against the wall. Wow so invigorating! I didn't expect to feel so proud of myself but the step by step nature of the video made it achievable and so satisfying after the slow burn of the strengthening. Your videos are such an amazing gift you give to so many people, every day and with the power of the internet, for years afterwards. I always love reading everyones grateful and happy comments. Thank you Adriene! From G in Australia.

    I’ve never attempted a headstand like this before, and by the end of the video I was up and holding for several seconds. Your explanation is so spot on and my neck felt completely protected and my weight properly distributed. Thank you so much

    I was able to do it right away! (And without a wall, too) Thanks to your tutorial. 😍 The foundations and warm-ups really helped. I lifted my bent knees up slowly and felt my core and my shoulders active and engaged. My back felt nice and straight and that’s when I was able to fully lift my legs up holding the position for about 10 seconds.
