One of the most exciting things about yoga can be advancing your yoga practice by getting upside down and learning how to balance your body in a whole new way! It is hard to do this on your own though and often regular classes will not have enough time to devote entirely to arm balances and inversions. Workshops are a great way to spend time learning the different inversions out there, and the necessary steps (and muscles!) needed to get upside down and even sideways!
Inversions adds to the general well being of a person if practiced correctly and with breath awareness. With regular practice, yoga poses that place the body upside-down have shown benefits in the cardiovascular, lymphatic, endocrine and nervous systems.
CLASS OUTLINE:
- The class will start with a warm up and core strengthening exercises to get you ready for a controlled inversion. We will then break down different inversions and arm balances using props and walls to help you learn how to practice safely. There will be extra help in the room to support you and encourage you to do what’s right for you.
-
Will work through supported headstand, handstand poses, fun arm balance transitions and end with legs up the wall (that’s an easy one, we promise).
Come, learn something new and have some fun! No expectations, no competition, no judgement! Set the foundation for trying something new in a safe way. Both feet never have to leave the ground.
