Methods to do Shirshasana

First of all, place the mattress on the bed and place your fingers on the mat with your hands intertwined.
The forehead should be placed on the ground and the claws of the hands should be placed in such a position that the head is supported from the outside.
Slowly balance the body, straighten the legs, lift the back and the lumbar region, move the torso towards the head, and straighten the body.
After reaching this position, stay still for 1-3 minutes (or as long as possible for the body). If you practice regularly, it will work even if you sit for a long time.
Breathe deeply while in this sitting position.
When restoring, first bend the knees and bring them close to the abdomen and lean on the ground side by side.
Slowly sit in this position for a few seconds.
