What is Himalayan Duck?
Karandavasana is an advanced inversion sometimes taught as a forearm balance combined with a leg-position transition. The exact method and exit require experienced, direct instruction.
How should this posture be approached?
This page does not describe the transition. Do not attempt it without a qualified teacher and appropriate spotting.
- Do not kick up or lower the legs without a controlled plan.
- Keep the head and neck free of weight-bearing pressure.
- Stop for shoulder, neck, or back pain, dizziness, or visual symptoms.
- Do not practice alone or near hard surfaces.
What is a lower-demand alternative?
Use a grounded forearm-supported posture with the knees down, without lifting into an inversion.
Common question: Is this an appropriate inversion to learn from a web page?
No. It requires qualified live instruction and controlled supervision.
