Inversions and Arm Balances with Stan Woodman
The inverted postures of yoga are some of the most beneficial yet intimidating of the asanas. Once the fear is defeated, the innumerable benefits of inversions can begin to do their magic. Inversions are empowering poses that teach us courage, light-heartedness, self-confidence and fearlessness through practice.
This fun and energizing workshop will break down four core inversions - headstand, shoulderstand, handstand, and forearm stand - into easily accessible stages. This workshop will use specific alignment tips to help you harness your own strengths and relate compassionately to your own fears. After a deep opening warm-up sequence, we will use props, partners, and a sense of humor to explore moving into, and perhaps coming towards balance in, inversions.
This workshop is recommended for students who have been practicing for at least 1 year. A few of the many benefits of inversions are listed below:
· Improved circulation
· Improved mental awareness
· Strengthens the core
· Calms the mind
· Gives the heart a rest
· Stimulates the endocrine system
· Can lower blood pressure
· Reduce the effects of age and gravity on the body
