Benefits of Headstands

Ive always wondered how people successfully did headstands without getting a headache or falling over backwards. Ive been able to do a headstand on and off for a few months now, but never could I hold the pose longer than 40 seconds. However, after doing day 21 of the yoga challenge we just did, I was able to get into the pose and stay there for a while. She showed us the proper way to ease into it and it really helped. After a few searches for headstand poses I began to wonder. Why do so many people crave to do headstands and are there any benefits to doing them? I have compiled here a list of the benefits of doing headstands. This information is from multiple sites that are sited at the bottom of the post.
