Why everyone needs to know how to do a headstand

Headstands are for everyone!

Being able to do a headstand with hip arthritis, was my saving grace during my four-year pain journey. This is why I believe everyone needs to know how to do the AgeDEFY headstand pose. You can never know when you will need it.

I never thought I would/could, be someone with arthritic hips but after years of teaching yoga, trail running, hiking, snowboarding, and adventure racing I found out I needed both of my hips replaced.

I chose to postpone surgery for four years, to learn from my pain and to create a movement medicine program, for people with chronic hip pain. I wanted to provide myself and others, who were experiencing chronic pain with another pain-relieving option - other than physical therapy, yoga, and prescription medication.

Yoga was no longer working for me, physical therapy wasn’t something I had time for, and prescription medication isn’t my thing. So what was someone like me to do?

THIS IS HOW I CREATED AgeDEFY.
