If your back starts to hunch, keep your knees bent. Hold for five deep breaths. When you’re ready to take the lift. Cross your legs just below your knees, point through your toes and pull them in as close to your body as possible, without letting them touch the ground. On inhale, hold yourself together, press your palms into the ground, engage your core and lift your body off the ground. Come back into Boat Pose for another five breaths, then take the lift again. Do this for five reps.

Lower your elbows to the floor and interlace your fingers. Place the back of your head against your palms and the top of your head on the mat. Once your head and forearms feel stable, straighten both legs and walk your feet toward your face as far as you can. Shift your hips over your shoulder, and keep your elbows planted firmly on the mat. Lift your right leg straght up toward the sky and then your left, coming into full headstand. If you feel up to the challenge, you can try lifting both legs up simultaneously. To move into Headstand B, slowly lower both legs down halfway, so that your thighs are parallel with the floor. After five breaths, lower your feet all the way down to the ground.
