shoulder stand

Legs above head

A shoulder stand is a yoga pose or gymnastics position in which the body is inverted and supported vertically on the shoulders, with the back braced by the hands and the legs extended straight upward.

In yoga, it's called sarvangasana and considered a foundational inversion: Hold the shoulder stand for thirty seconds.
