Jesus Christ. Doesn't it hurt your head? I hate the elbow head stand thing as it really hurts the top of my head!

At first it does. It also depends on what kind of mat you use. Ive got a cheap £5.99 mat from sports direct thats quite padded and if need be you can always fold it over on itself. I do also have a Manduka travel mat but its incredibly think and basically like having you head on a hard floor, that hurts. One of those things, you get used to it fast. I always used to get a massive head rush whilst doing inversions but that doesn't affect me now.

Nice!! the main reason it hurts people heads is there not balancing the weight evenly with the hands. More of the weight should be getting controlled down through your arms then your head.

And what happens when your hands aren't even touching the floor?



Ah, suddenly it becomes clear.

I have been practicing yoga. It really helps me. However now I have to do yoga at home( I certainly will not be able to perform something like this as in the photo! But I'm aiming for it! And I'm sure with the help of this resource https://yogapractice.com/yoga/yoga-mats-the-best-o... I will be able to achieve this result. There you can choose a convenient individual training regime for everyone, and you can also buy the necessary equipment. Isn't that beautiful?

I went to a yoga class. Teacher asked my how flexible I was and I said I couldn't do Tuesdays or Fridays.

I always suspected Tim Vine was a member of PH.
