I would like to learn how to do a headstand in yoga class. Can you help me figure out the steps?

Sure! Here are the steps for doing a headstand in yoga class:
1. Begin in a kneeling position with your arms bent and your hands on the floor.
2. Interlace your fingers and touch the back of your head to the floor.
3. Place the crown of your head on the floor, in between your interlocked hands.
4. Put your palms and elbows close to your ribcage and press them firmly down onto the floor.
5. Slowly lift your knees off the floor, as you do this press your thighs into your chest.
6. Start to straighten your legs, allow your feet to hover above the floor.
7. Inhale and on the exhale start to walk your feet towards your head until your hips are stacked above your shoulders.
8. Continue to press your palms and elbows down for stability, straighten your legs and hold for as long as you can.
9. To come out, slowly lower down your legs back to the floor.
10. Rest in child's pose after you complete the pose.
