Great article, thanks (:

Having had a mild whiplash due to being in an auto accident I stay away from headstands. I do enjoy my husband's inversion table and I also have a headstand "stool" I purchased which allows my weight to be on my shoulders as I invert into headstand rather than my neck. Both of these allow me to enjoy inverting without compromise to my neck.
