Upside Down - An Inversion Workshop

The form of the body gives impact to the quality of the mind and the steadiness of the mind allows us to transition and flow with life, keeping our attention centered internally to the self, our source.

This workshop will provide you with clear Iyengar alignment principles that mindfully bring your awareness to grounding points of action for inversions to hold us steady physically and mentally in our pose.  This steadiness relaxes the mind enabling us to focus and builds a confidence in our practice from that connection deep inside ourselves.

Inversions are the core aspect of an advanced asana practice.  They help regulate blood pressure, enhance lung capacity, hormonal balance, immune system functioning and emotional stability, Instruction will be given sequentially to building a strong base for confidence. Modifications will be provided for those who may have fear or restrictions along the way.  Teachers will have the opportunity to learn variations and tools for assistance. We will focus on shoulder stabilization, flexibility, and core strength in a variety of poses

This will be a fun dynamic practice enabling you to stand on your head, hands & shoulders. Paula will also interject anatomy & yoga philosophy.
