Yoga Headstand Bench

The many benefits of holding a headstand position are mostly related to improved blood and lymph circulation throughout the body. When we do headstands, we encourage more delivery of oxygen and nutrients to our brain, and decrease our risk of developing stagnation-related issues like varicose veins.

For those who can use some help with learning and holding a headstand position, this type of yoga headstand bench can be a helpful tool. I like that it takes pressure off my neck while I'm inverted, and I also find it useful for stretching my hamstrings and hip adductors by resting upside down with my legs in side and front splits.

With safety in mind, I feel it's best to have the bench on a grippy surface such as a yoga mat, rubber exercise flooring, or indoor turf, and for those without experience doing inversion work, the bench should be pressed up against a wall to allow one's legs to have a resting surface if necessary.
