Actor Alaya F is always on point when it comes to fitness. The Srikanth actor impressed fans by performing a headstand without any support in her latest video.
Considered one of the most difficult poses in Yoga, she not only performs a headstand but does it without any support. Alaya has been doing yoga for decades, and her core strength was on full display in the video. While she aced the pose, the actor warned people not to "try it at home" as it can be dangerous if you are not a pro.
Alaya F Performs Headstand Without Support
Alaya was seen upside down in the video with her legs pointing towards the ceiling. The 27-year-old took the basic headstand up a notch by removing her hands from the ground and making a thumbs-up sign at the camera.
In the caption, she wrote, "When Unstoppable by Sia plays, just know… kuch bhi ho sakta hai. No hands headstand."

Things To Keep In Mind
Here are some things you should keep in mind before doing a headstand:

Always learn step by step and with proper instruction."
