Tausend Schläge und ein Ommm
A resounding success
There are few yoga poses that are as powerful and, yes, majestic, as the headstand. With the legs stretched straight up in the air, the entire body is enthroned on the shoulders and forearms. Yoga legends such as Sharon Gannon and David Life can supposedly hold the asana for an hour, although we can't quite believe it. Other teachers don't teach it at all because they believe that practicing the upside-down pose has no benefits in our modern world. The fact is: the headstand requires a very high degree of stability, control and strength. And brings those who believe in it a little bit closer to enlightenment.
