The Handstand or Adho mukha vrksasana

This pose is beneficial in so many ways once mastered, (not taught at beginners level), it not only has a weight bearing affect on the body but is also classed as an inversion, (a pose which takes you upside down), therefore allows for better venous return, (blood flow to the heart).
