Śīrṣāsana ♥

At the end of the finishing sequence of Ashtanga yoga, we have our regular headstand, followed by this half bend variation.
Both should feel balanced and be held with ease - if you’re using strength and force; it means you haven’t found the correct balance point yet! 🙃

I love working on this posture with my students, witnessing them as they find comfort & control✨

Yoga Mudra at dawn 🌅

The first of the 3 closing postures that we round the practice off with each day✨

16/07/2024

The finishing postures of Ashtanga Yoga are an important part of the practice; they purify the digestive organs, calm the nervous system and balance our hormones by stimulating the thyroid gland.

❊ They should be prioritised on days when we have less time & aren’t able to do our full sequence.
