I know this pose looks extremely difficult, but if you practice doing it then it will happen. You will need to set a goal and then work towards it. Scorpion pose will strengthen your shoulders, abs, back muscles, and improve your balance.
Sanskrit Name: Vrschikasana
English Translation: Scorpion Pose
•To do Scorpion, you first need to get into Forearm Stand. Come onto your hands and knees and place your forearms on the floor. Try to keep your arms parallel, and don't let your elbows slide out to the sides.
•Walk your feet as close as you can towards your head and gaze between your hands, not at your feet.
•Now lift your right leg straight up and work on taking little hops, so your left foot comes off the ground. Then start to scissor kick the legs up.
•Once you've found your balance, bring your legs together straight up towards the ceiling. Tucking your tailbone and ribs in will help you stay balanced.
•To come into scorpion from this position, slowly bend your knees as you shift your chest forward slightly. If your back is extremely flexible, your feet will have no problem touching your head. You can hold Scorpion pose with your feet dangling above your head.
