Going Upside Down is not how we normally spend our days.  We stand with our head up and our feet down.  It is unusual to turn upside down and take our head lower than our hearts, perhaps even lower than our feet. We change our perspective. We change our relationship to gravity.

Over four weeks, we will explore a variety of inversions. You can drop in for one class or take all four classes.  We will build the basic mechanics of inversions and practice going upside down. We will focus on alignment and building strength. The practice will be lighthearted, instructional and fun.   

This class is for students with some yoga experience.  Beginners are welcome. You do not need to know how to do inversions: headstands, shoulder stands, handstands, etc.  Everyone will use props including blocks, blankets, straps, and chairs. Adaptations, options, and modifications are always given. Students may elect to have hands on assists from the teacher and/or other students.

Drop into one class or sign up for all 4 weeks for $60 (Free Unlimited Members)
