A paddleboard comes in different sizes, and it is used for water sports, mainly surfing. It stays buoyant in water because of its unique shape, but it is difficult to keep it stable. To perform a difficult yoga pose, such as a headstand, on this paddleboard is immensely risky, because unless one is an expert, improper headstand practice can lead to some serious head, neck, and spinal injuries.
Alaya F, however, is a fitness enthusiast, who has been practising and perfecting her headstand skills for a long while now. In the caption accompanying the video, the 27-year-old actor wrote: "Someone jokingly said, 'You should try a headstand on the paddleboard.' Two minutes later, I was upside down in the middle of a river while my friends and family hyped me up from the boat."
She performed the headstand on not-so-still waters, apparently during sunset. According to yoga practitioners, it is imperative to perform a headstand on a flat and steady surface, where there is less risk of an injury. For beginners, they must start with a shoulder stand and then gradually move on to headstand by taking the support of a wall.
Headstand, also known as Sirsasana in yoga, has numerous health benefits:
While Alaya managed to demonstratethis yoga pose in a daring fashion, we recommend trying it out under the guidance of a fitness expert, who may help prevent any kind of injury.
