Enliven the whole body from the crown of the head in this amazing pose, often called the “King of Asanas.” In this workshop, you will safely strengthen and prepare the body, especially the shoulder girdle and neck, for salamba sirsasana (supported headstand). Overcome fear of pressing your head into the floor and feel how this action elongates the neck by exploring it in different relations to gravity, including standing up and lying down. Learn proper alignment of the neck and shoulder girdle and the actions needed to support this in full headstand. Strengthen the muscles needed to sustain a the pose so you can connect to the powerful energy that surges through the spine when you engage the crown of the head into the floor. Expect a strong and clarifying practice, followed by neck release before a deep savasana.
ONLINE. You will receive a zoom link and prop list one hour before class.
