Inversions and backbends
Inversions are considered a mainstay in Iyengar Yoga with numerous benefits including enhancing proprioception and balance, lifting the mood, strengthening the body (including the core and the arms), reducing fluid retention, stimulating the pituitary, pineal and thyroid glands, enhancing willpower and encouraging a "can-do" attitude bringing feelings of empowerment and exhilaration.
​
The back-bending postures are invigorating and strengthening, bringing in a renewed sense of courage, energy and uplifted mood. Often referred to as heart opening poses, backbends are a fantastic antidote to our western lifestyle in which we tend to shorten and narrow our chest and slouch forward (in many of our daily activities). ​
​
In this workshop we will fine tune our technique in Adho Mukha Vrksasana (handstand) and Pincha Mayurasana (forearm balance) in order to prepare the shoulders for the backbends in this session. Some of the backbends we will focus on will be Urdhva Dhanurasana (upward bow pose), Natarajasana (the dancer pose) and Vrschikasana (the scorpion pose - from forearm balance).
Join this workshop for a progressive, detailed and supported approach to a number of our basic and more challenging backbends.

This workshop is available for both in-person and online attendance live or via recordings.
