That is the chair shoulderstand I was referring to. I enjoy it quite
a lot.

The first time or three (or more, if you need it), the answer is
"with an instructor's assistance". Inversions are not something to
learn on your own. (Viparita karani is probablyt OK, since there's
not a significan't balance component, but most of the others, no.)

On that day, many will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works
in your name?" And then will I declare to them, "I never knew you;
depart from me you evildoers." -- Matt 7:20-23, RSV
