A beginner should practice this posture with the support of a wall. Place the forearms and the elbows on the floor. Push against the floor lightly with the legs.

After achieving proficiency, bend the legs at the knees and try to place the soles on the head. Patient practice will in time impart the necessary ability to balance the body on the palms braced on the ground.Health Benefits of VRISHCHIKASANA Yoga:
