A very wise person, I loved very much , once told When everything's feeling a bit topsy-turvy , turm yourself upside down. . It's been a while since I practised tripod headstand. I learnt about 8 years and i t took me ages and ages and a lot of bruises til I finally got it. Easy for some, but the problem for me was the fear element. It's a balance trick of letting go and holding on , like most things in life 😉
Turning ourselves upside down can have remarkable benefits for both mind and body.
Head below the heart is key so if you cant headstandcof handstand a gentle supported shoulderstand or legs up the wall, as well as downward facing dog all these poses are good for the circulation, the lymphatic system and the nervous system. They can also calm and settle the mind
The science bit 🤣
Turning yourself upside down has interesting effects on your blood pressure and vagus nerve. This is because our bodies are brilliant at regulating themselves. We have special pressure detectors called baroreceptors in our aortic and carotid arteries in the chest. When we turn upside down, the blood pressure in the area above the heart initially increases due to gravity. More blood is flowing towards the head.
Baroreceptors detect the rise in blood pressure and work to correct it, by causing a parasympathetic response in the nervous system. This decreases the heart rate and relaxes the blood vessel walls decreasing, blood pressure, making you feel calm.
