A perfect opportunity to work on headstand and shoulder stand with two very experienced and wonderful teachers
Sat 23 March, 11.45-13.30, at Yoga Now studio.
All equipment provided.
Katie and Lucy will be teaching a workshop mainly on sarvangasana and the family of asanas relating to it…..setubhanda, chair sarvangasana, viparita karani, chatooshpadasana to name a few. In Intermediate and General classes, and Continuing Beginners classes, you are expected to know how to set up the props and work in these asanas but we appreciate that in regular classes it is not always possible to spend a lot of time on this. It’s a great opportunity for those of you who come to these levels of classes to get more confidence in your understanding of this wonderful asana.
Regular practice of inversions is absolutely vital – they give extraordinary benefits, not least keeping your immune system healthy. Dr Geeta S Iyengar observed that sometimes practitioners omit inversions and had strong feelings on the subject – “it is absolutely wrong and unpardonable. Inversions are the backbone of the practice of asanas. One may miss the other asanas due to lack of time, but should not miss the regular practice of inversions, except during menstruation. Inversions control the metabolism of the body, keep a check on blood pressure, maintain glucose levels and chemical balance. They yield emotional balance, stimulate the intellectual centre and refresh the mind”.
