    Commentaries around

    “It must be remembered that Śīrṣāsana is
    one form of the Viparīta Karaṇī Mudrā.
    For those who cannot do Śīrṣāsana
    or any other inverted posture,
    alternatives do exist.
    Mahāmudrā is one such alternative
    which would yield similar benefits.”
    – TKV Desikachar KYM Darśanam February 1994
