Perfect Shoulder Stand Technique
Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana) is a foundational inversion that strengthens the core, improves circulation, and calms the nervous system. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures safe neck positioning and proper alignment for this powerful therapeutic pose.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup: Lie on back with blanket under shoulders, arms alongside body
- Leg Lift: Exhale and lift legs overhead, bringing knees toward chest
- Hip Support: Place hands on lower back for support, elbows grounded
