Two years into being a Yoga Teacher Training Graduate I was still the only one from my classmates who could not hold a headstand. Held back by my own apprehensions and perceived muscle weakness, I resisted the posture with full force. It was only when I was taught to break it down, closely guided by experienced teachers, that I was able to befriend my fear and tap into my body’s strength.
In this 2.5 hour workshop I will share with you my personal journey towards headstand, breaking it down into small manageable steps and strengthening exercises that will equip you with the necessary understanding to conquer your dream-asana. I will be personally assisting you with various opportunities into the posture, sharing relevant strengthening exercises for correct muscle use and providing useful insight on cracking the knack of balance.
We will also dive deeply into the practice of shoulderstand, an elixir for the correct functioning of the thyroid gland; and the shoulderstand-cycle, challenging ourselves to a longer hold, various leg variations and transitions into bridges and wheels. This is an excellent opportunity if you are a regular open-class yogi and are looking for a safe introduction to these postures. It will also prove useful to those who already have a headstand and shoulderstand practice, but are struggling to maintain a hold or are keen to explore new arm and leg variations.In this workshop you will practice:
