How to do handstand - yoga for beginners - Iyengar Yoga

How to do handstand - yoga for beginners - Whilst handstand is not categorised as a yoga pose for beginners, as with everything, we have to start somewhere.
In this video we will work towards handstand starting with a basic pose such as Urdhva Baddhanguliyasana (upward bound fingers pose).
