Service Description

The inverted postures of yoga are some of the most beneficial yet intimidating of the asanas. The human body is more than 60% water and therefore very susceptible to the pull of gravity. When you invert yourself, tissue fluids from your lower extremities drain, even more effectively than when you sleep. Inversions rest your heart and promote more efficient gas exchange in the lower lungs. Inversions also strengthen the immune system, help with varicose veins and edema, regulate metabolism, regulate the thyroid, and help with memory. On mental and emotional levels, overcoming fears, trusting in your own abilities, and trying new things are lessons that can be applied to life. You will be introduced to and practice postures such as headstand, forearm stand, handstand, and more. You will be guided through alignment, technique, proper modifications, and feel how to develop the power in your core strength. This uplifting workshop will help you discover everything you need to know to turn your practice upside down! Learn to use the wall, or a buddy, as a way to continue practicing inversions beyond this class. Let go of the fear, we are here to support. Freaked out? Not to worry! This series is open to all levels, and you will be met exactly where you are at and given the tools you need to progress at your level. That is the beauty of the intimate and safe environment No inversion experience is necessary… This is where you come to learn. All are welcome!
