My very first youtube upload -(click on link - it's not just the picture you see to the right!) an instructional 2 minute clip about how to do "chair sirsasana" as taught in class. hold for 1-2 minutes maximum. benefits: releases trapezius tension, neck release, allows inversion even with (and especially if you have a) neck issue. If you stay in the pose longer than 2 minutes, you should use head support (blankets, etc.) as we do in class. If you have still have trouble going up by yourself, ask me next class to show an easy way to come up by yourself. If you use padding, as shown in this picure, make sure it is symmetrical, and lined up with the edge of the chair!
This is meant for my Iyengar Yoga students as a supplement to their class attendance, to aid them in their own practice. My advice is not to attempt this without a teacher, as there are a few details, without which, discomfort and even injury are possible. And of course, no inversions during menstruation, with high blood pressure nor eye pressure issues such as gluacoma.
Namaste,
