OCBC Bank's video: Get into a Headstand with Roxanne Gan

Trying to take your practice to the next level? Before you attempt inversions like Headstand, do note that you should avoid attempting it if you have neck and shoulder injuries or if you’re pregnant. If you are cleared, let’s warm up with these three exercises before starting to go upside down.   Warm Up: 1. Downdog to High Plank 10x 2. Dolphin Push-Up 10x  3. High to Low Boat 10x Rest and repeat the whole sequence one more time.   Do note that inversions take a lot of discipline and consistency to master it. Using the wall can help you gradually overcome fear and get you used to the sensation of being upside down.   Wall/Supported Headstand: Walk your legs up 90°and extend one leg at a time, hold each side for 5 breaths.   Full Headstand: For safety reasons, we do not advise kicking up. Build the core strength to eventually walk your legs into your chest, hold it to work on your stability. As you progress, your core and body will be strong enough for you to extend your legs fully.   Practise, and all is coming.   Stay tuned for more fitness tips coming your way in the coming weeks and check out https://www.ocbc.com/health for over 70 health & wellness deals of up to 70% off with OCBC Cards!
