Tripod Headstand

Muscles Targeted: Shoulders, Core Abdominal Muscles

  • Start by placing the top of your head on your mat or padded floor.
  • Place hands about shoulder-width apart and bend elbows at 90 degrees
  • Bring your bottom up slowly, so your seat is directly above your head and your toes are the only part of your lower body still touching the mat.
  • Lift both legs up into the air, making sure to tuck in your abs and keep your pelvic bone drawn towards your sternum.

Number of Sets: 4
Hold Time per Set: 30-60 seconds
Rest Time: 1-2 minutes

Quick Tip:

1) Don’t forget to breathe. Being upside down will affect your body’s normal equilibrium, so remind yourself to continue to breath in a controlled manner.

2) Use a wall or a friend as your support when you are first attempting this exercise until you get more comfortable.

Strength Goal:

  • Be able to hold a Tripod Headstand Pose for at least 30-60 seconds.
