This training is designed for teachers and advanced practitioners to confidently introduce inversions and / or arm balances in your classes or personal practice.
During our time together you will learn:
Benefits of inversions
How to safely fall out of inversions
Anatomy and physiological principles of inversions
Arrangement of props to support inversions at all levels
Pranayama and bhandas exercises
How to sequence toward inversions
You will also spend time writing sequences and practicing teaching. There will be lots of asana so be prepared to move your body, breathe big and go deep.
We will flow through and break down:
Handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana)
Headstand (Salamba Sirsasana)
Forearm stand (Pincha Mayurasana)
Variations of crow / crane pose (Bakasana)
and more…
No matter where you are in your relationship to going upside down or balancing on your hands, our time together will enhance your teaching and your practice. Teachers will gain confidence approaching these shapes with your students. If you arent teaching - this program will take your practice to the next level and get you ready to take flight.
I hope to see you there.
