Sivananda Yoga Sarvangasana (Shoulder-Stand)

Pose two in the Sivananda style Yoga practice is Shoulder Stand, Sarvangasana. And, we've got Lauren here to demonstrate this pose. Beautiful pose. I'm going to have Lauren laying down on her back. With Headstand, it is considered the King Pose. Shoulder Stand is considered the Queen Pose. So, drop your arms down to your sides. Slowly and gently lift the legs all the way up. Lifting the hips up gently. Support your weight on your back as you come up. Now, notice her elbows are on the ground. Try and see if you can move the elbows a little bit closer together. Yes. And, the lower she walks the hands towards the shoulder the more support she will have. Now, with Should Stand when you're first beginning its ok to have a beautiful angle right there. She's has a got a nice, nice straight line. Chin is into the chest. Now, with Shoulder Stand it is very important that you do not look side to side. Also, do not do it if you have high blood pressure. Women over four months pregnant, anything like that. So, being very very careful.
