Sarvangasana or the Shoulder Stand, is the Yogasana in which the entire body is raised up with the support of shoulders and hands.
Lie flat on your back with feet together and palms turned down. Take a few deep breaths. Pressing the palms and elbows down and keeping the knees straight, raise both legs up till they are perpendicular to the floor. Now push the torso up gently until you are resting on the shoulders. Support the back with your hands bent at the elbow. Straighten the back as much as possible. To come out of the position lower the feet slightly towards the head and bring the hands back to the floor. Then slowly unroll the body to the floor and relax for a while.
Sarvangasana gives a good stretch to the spine and makes it strong and flexible. It improves blood circulation and strengthens heart and lungs. The muscles of the arms, shoulders, and neck are strengthened. Sarvangasana undoubtedly rejuvenates the whole system and brings vitality. This asana is a good substitute for those who are unable to do Sirshasana.
It is recommended to do the preparatory exercises before doing Sarvangasana. This Yogasana should be done very carefully as there are chances of injuring to the neck if done improperly.
