Revisiting Pindasana in Sarvangasana (Embryo in Shoulderstand)

Pindasana in Sarvangasana (Embryo in Shoulderstand) registers as 5* on Iyengar’s 60* scale of difficulty.

Pindasana in Sarvangasana shares many similarities to Pindasana in Sirsasana. Pindasana in Sirsasana requires a great deal more balance than Pindasana in Sarvangasana. If you struggle with balancing in Pindasana in Sirsasana, consider trying Pindasana in Sarvangasana first. You’ll still experience the softening in your hip crease and the downward movement of your knees, and the Shoulderstand variation will exercise your spine.
