If you are a beginner, you can start practising headstand against a wall for support following the steps explained by Rujuta Diwekar.

How to do twisted split headstand

Start with sirsasana. Open your legs apart gradually from front to back and press out through the heels to from a split. In this posture, the hips will no longer be horizontally aligned. If your left leg is in front, start twisting your torso to the right. Strongly pull back through the opposite shoulder. Allow the abdominal mucles to engage so that that the lower back does not curve too much.
