If you’ve been dreaming of high-flying yoga poses like Press Handstand, your pillowcase may be just the thing to make your flying dreams a reality. All you need for this strength-building exercise is an old pillowcase, your yoga mat, a pair of blocks (or large hardcover books), and a tiled or hardwood floor. Place your hands shoulder-distance apart on two blocks that are securely set on the edge of a yoga mat. Keeping your arms straight and shoulders stacked above wrists, come into Upward-Facing Dog pose by placing the tops of your feet on a pillowcase that’s resting directly on the floor. Now push strongly down into the blocks as you lift your hips high and drag the feet smoothly toward your hands.
