Join us on February 8 for an in-depth workshop devoted to two of yoga’s most revered inversions: Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand) and Salamba Shirshasana (Headstand)—traditionally known in the Iyengar method as the Queen and King of asana—led by Martha Staff, a highly experienced, long-time Iyengar practitioner and teacher.

These postures hold a central place across many yoga traditions. Practiced individually, each offers significant physical and energetic benefits; practiced sequentially and with intention, their effects are enhanced—supporting clarity, vitality, and balance in both body and mind. Martha’s depth of study and years of teaching bring clarity and precision to this work, offering students a grounded, accessible pathway into these essential poses.

The workshop will move through carefully chosen preparatory poses, detailed alignment instruction, and the skillful use of props—hallmarks of the Iyengar tradition—to cultivate stability, confidence, and ease. Emphasis is placed on intelligent progression, safety, and sensitivity to individual bodies, allowing practitioners to build strength and understanding without force or strain.

Requirements
• Minimum of 6 months of hatha/Iyengar/Vinyasa yoga experience
• Desire and ability to practice inversions (postures with the head below the heart)

Preparation
• Please eat at least 2 hours before class, with time to digest before class begins.

Contraindications
If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma or eye-pressure conditions, or have cervical or shoulder injuries that limit weight-bearing on the head or shoulders, please consult your healthcare provider before registering.

This February workshop offers a meaningful opportunity to deepen your inversion practice under the guidance of a seasoned Iyengar teacher—developing steadiness, confidence, and a more intimate understanding of these classical asana.
