Inversions and Arm Balances

Thu 7/28/2011from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Pre-registration recommended. Call Kaia Yoga to reserve your space today! 

In yoga, we are invited to play at the edge of our own consciousness and experience. Turning upside is an invitation to release your fears, sharpen the mind, and rock the body. In this workshop, we will safely explore the art and joy of being upside down. 

Inversions have an amazing capacity to enliven your body, mind and spirit. Reverse the effects of gravity and flood your vital organs and brain with nourishment. By elevating the legs, circulation, venous return, and lymph drainage are improved, and strain and fatigue are relieved. Explore the connection between inversions and arm balances with lots of fun variations!

Don't be concerned if you've never gone up into a headstand...you won't be asked to perform any pose you are not comfortable with. However, Stan will help you learn preparatory poses to the classical inversions so that you can develop the strength and confidence to attempt the more challenging poses as your practice deepens. Experience the ease of inversions! All levels of practice welcomed.
