This workshop will explore the dynamics of yoga inversions including Forearm stand, headstand and Shoulderstand. Our practice will integrate strength-building exercises with short yoga sequences that prepare the body & mind to balance upside down! Students will learn fun and creative ways to build up the core & upper body strength necessary to approach these asanas with a stable foundation. Our inversion play-time will emphasize breath connection and healthy alignment.

Students will go home with a deeper understanding of how they can safely integrate inversions into their own practice.

This workshop is appropriate for students of all levels. It is recommended that students who attend have at least some practice working with one of the following: forearm stand or headstand.

We will be working on:

  • shoulder mobility
  • alignment drills
  • progression
  • how to bail safely
  • spotting
