Safe, Sensible Inversions

Saturday, February 13

11:45 am - 1:15 pm

Club Kilimanjahro Studio

There are numerous benefits from the practice of inversions. There are also risks involved, especially for the beginner, if inversions are approached carelessly. In this dynamic workshop you will be given guidance in how to assess your readiness for each inversion practice and how to move into them systematically, sensibly and safely. You will learn the preparatory poses and be guided step-by-step into finding your safe level of practice. We will explore sarvangasana (shoulderstand), sirsasana (headstand), and adho mukha vriksasana (handstand) as well as various modifications of those postures with the support of a wall and/or on your mat, as needed. Be prepared to release all resistance, find ease in your asana while turning your world upside down, connecting the earth to sky. A portion of this revitalizing workshop will include working with a partner. Open to all levels. Blankets are recommended and will be offered or bring your own.

" Awesome event!"
