Knowledge and Strength in Asana

Spacious Wisdom – Knowledge & Strength in Asana

This workshop will be informative and interactive with the support of two Senior Yoga instructors to help you utilise yoga alignment fundamentals to select the best asana (posture) variations for your practice.

Be empowered by building strength in your upper body, and learn how to integrate your whole body for optimal stability and strength in preparation for inversions.

Inversions are categorized as any yoga pose where the head is below the heart. And while Headstand, Handstand, Forearm Stand, and Shoulder Stand immediately come to mind, there are gentler variations that are more accessible for students early on in their inversion experience. Downward Dog, Standing Forward Folds, Legs Up the Wall and Happy Baby are lovely ways in which yoga uses gravity to get your blood moving towards your heart.

Inversions give us a new perspective on life, literally by turning us upside down. Supported inversions work to calm your nervous system by activating the parasympathetic side that serves to slow the heart rate, and relax muscles. While the more active variations work on core strength, improves balance, and builds confidence.

Inversions increase circulation, they help get oxygen and blood to your brain to revitalize your mind. The active variations teach you to hone in diffuse thinking to a single point of focus which in Yoga it’s called ‘The Monkey Mind’. Where thoughts jump from one to the next like a monkey swinging from branch to branch. When you turn your world upside down all your attention comes into the moment.

Once you start bringing inversions into your practice you awaken your inner child and be reminded that yoga is a contemplative endeavor and the asana practice is a time to be playful and lighthearted!
