The Sirsasana or Headstand Pose is called the king of all asanas as it is a pose that involves balance on the head/crown. This is an advanced yoga asana that must only be attempted under the guidance of a yoga instructor. This asana is very popular due to its multiple health benefits. It speeds up the blood circulation and ensures that the brain receives sufficient, well-oxygenated blood. In this yoga pose the body is completely inverted, and held upright supported by the forearms, while the crown of the head rests lightly on the floor. The key to this asana is to avoid placing weight on your head and neck. Instead, let your arms and shoulders hold you up.
