Tiryak Shirshasana

Tiryak Sirshasana

Tiryak = not straight
Seersha = the head, the pinnacle
asana = posture


 


This is not a conventional one. Or I haven't found this asana anywhere in my limited ability or knowledge of the Asanas. I know of other variations of Shirshasana which are pretty much standard variation - but not this one.

This seems, however, a more fun sort of variation - as if you are doing some adjustments after having struck this pose, moving your legs here and there seeing how well balanced you are, and meanwhile some crazy photographer shot you in a lark. You came down and saw the result and liked it and decided to publish it and even gave it a name! :).

Well, there are challenges in here too - but they are pretty simple ones for a veteran Shirshanana fellow.
