This a good pose for those who are looking for Beginners Yoga. It it one of the first inverted asanas (upside down poses) that we teach to new yoga students. It should come after your standing poses in your yoga sequence and can be done after Adho Mukha Svanasana (Dog Head Down Pose), and before your seated poses. In order to protect your neck, make sure that you have suitable yoga props to do Halasana. If you have them, the standard support is five yoga pads and a yoga mat and a sturdy chair. If you do not have yoga equipment, you can replace the yoga pads with 3 neatly folded blankets or large towels for the platform for your shoulders. If you have problems rolling into this pose, which can happen through a lack of confidence or if you are overweight, we show the use of a higher support, in this case two yoga bolsters, as a launch pad. You could replace these with a couple of firm pillows. This pose shouldn’t be done when ladies are menstruating.
