I used to do yoga many years ago - due to work commitments have not been able to get back to classes again, but I'd love to try headstands again as they are so beneficial! Can you suggest how I should start this again! I've never been able to do a headstand on my own - had to always do so against at wall, and then with some help! I'm 56 years young!

I've been doing this posture for a while now, but not daily, and only for about 3 minutes. Now I'm doing it every day twice a day, because I'm too young to be gray!! I have quite a bit at my hairline and a little throughout my hair. Hope this works. My diet is good, and I work out and do yoga. If anyone has any other tips for healthy hair, bring it on!!

Ever since I've started doing yoga and cleaned up my diet I SWEAR my grays have gone away. I was attributing it to diet, but maybe it is from inversions. As a matter of fact, this weekend was the first time I stayed in headstand without assistance or the wall. Ok, I ended up flipping over into backbend after 30 seconds or so. Practice makes perfect!

Now that I'm older, I know I would have to build up to that level again after not doing it for so many years. I am 48 years old and in pretty good health..still always room for improvement...what amount of time would be good to start with when I do stand on my head? I really do not want to overdue it from the start but work up to whatever is feasible, doable and productive. Thank you!
