If you're comfortable with inversions, a supported head stand can be an amazingly calming pose, and even if you're not completely comfortable with inversions, it's good to just try what you're comfortable with. Push the envelope a little bit, but not to the point where you're scared or where you're uncomfortable. So we're going to do a supported head stand against the wall. The proper way to measure your distance from the wall when you're practicing inversions is to sit, I'm going to see if I can show you guys this, is to sit with your feet against the wall and place your hands where your knees are. That way you measure a distance, you're going to place your head at that distance where the hands are and in our supported head stand, we're going to clasp the hands. Can you see what I'm doing? Clasping the hands just like this. I'm going to place my elbows down, and I'm going to gently kick up to the wall. See what's happening here is I can bend one leg, and the rest of my body is in the correct alignment for a head stand as opposed to doing this, which does not put my body in correct alignment and will never ever teach me how to do a proper inversion. This way, I can bend one knee, put my toe against the wall and when I'm comfortable I can straighten both legs.
