Standing Poses and the Relationship to Inversions and Basic Backbends

Type:  Sat (Asana/Pranayama / BrahmaFoundation / Middling (Madhya)

INSTRUCTOR: John Leebold

Class Description: "Before we learn to stand on our head let us first be stable and grounded on our feet" is a famous Maxim of BKS Iyengar. This makes sense both psychologically and biomechanically. This class will explore the crown of the head and the crown of the feet and the important links that exist in balancing these two inner dynamics.

Please Note: Two years of regular practice recommended. Should also have been doing inversion and backbends under a certified teacher.If parts of the class are out of the individual's range alternatives will be gladly given although students should not expect a great deal of personalized and individual attention. Please bring blocks and usual yoga equipment.
