Join Léah for this playfully empowering, step by step exploration of the classic inversions and basic hand balancing poses: Headstand and Handstand.
What to expect:
- You will learn progressive steps to build a grounded yet invigorating experience in these poses!
- Discover where your individual growth edge is in each inversion/basic hand balance.
- Develop understanding of how to practice these poses SAFELY on your own.
- Discover the alignment principles of the foundation: Hand to Heart connection, Head to Heart connection
- How to progress and deepen your experience within them.
During these 2 masterclasses, we will explore headstand, handstand preps & handstands, as well as simple hand balancing poses.
Once the foundation is secure and steady. the principles of aligning the hips over the heart are the same.
Each session include simple warm ups , pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation to digest our adventures in turning upside down and balancing on our hands.
Why we go upside down:
Going upside can be scary. We are used to having our feet on the ground and our brain on top!
Yet when we go upside down something magical happens…..Our mind is prompted to let go of it’s habitual cycles and for a minute, or two, or three…we feel free!!
We are asked to trust, to connect with our courage and take in our new upside down perspective!
B.K.S Iyengar, calls inversions the YOUTH SERUM… Old blood that has gathered in the bottom of our bodies, legs and feet gets turned upside down and drains down toward the heart, reverses the heart pressure. When we come out of upside down poses the heart pumps new oxygenated blood into those tired cells, relieving head aches, varicose veins, (spataderen).
