(Level: Intermediate) We begin with the Lightning Bolt Pose. Then we move into the Supine Leg Lifts that help strengthen core muscles used doing inversion asanas, especially the Shoulderstand. The Shoulderstand can help balance out your thyroid. Once up in the Shoulderstand we’ll do another inversion strengthening exercise Inverted Double Toe Touches. After we’ll move into the Plough Pose which gives a nice full stretch to your whole back, and then move into it’s counter stretch the Fish Pose. After we’ll prepare for Headstand with the Dolphin prep exercise, and then do Headstand. The Headstand can help calm your brain/mind and give you a different way of seeing into the world. After you come down from the Headstand and you will relax into the Child’s Pose. Prep exercises to strengthen your Shoulderstand and Headstand are included. If you are a beginner make sure to have a partner to spot you in the Headstand and Shoulderstand. If you have medical back/neck issues consult your physician before attempting to do them. When you are naked in these asanas you can let go of your clothed restrictions and truly feel yourself move through these asanas naturally.
