This practice is a foray into inversions— handstand, forearm balance, headstand.
We stay away from most standing poses and focus on shoulder openers and basic hip openers. Paying attention to how shoulder opening connects to the deep core along with some essential hip opening and hamstring length helps us cultivate the awareness and strength needed for these upside down inverted moments. We oscillate between these opening postures (along with some side bending) and the inversions, progressively sequencing toward headstand.
You’ll learn some new techniques to cultivate your inversion practice and come away with a restored nervous system. our whole approach to the sequence is one that help us warm and sustain ourselves. We look to cultivate a deep inner resilience by quieting the nervous system by oscillating work and rest to create healthy tone in our systems.
