WHAT’S UP IS DOWN - INVERSION ASANA INTENSIVE
JULY 21 - 26, 2024 | 8-11AM
Some of the most exciting and scary yoga postures are inversions. They are also some of the most physiologically beneficial poses in yoga. Handstand, Adho Mukha Vriksasana, builds strength and confidence. Forearm balance, Pincha Mayurasana, focuses on shoulder strength and opening. Headstand, Sirsasana, and Shoulderstand, Sarvangasana, balance your endocrine system and support hormone health in men and women. Throughout this week of yoga practice, we will take time to not only learn these poses but also learn how to modify them and how to use various props to stay in these poses longer. The longer you stay, the more benefits you reap. The classes will also include focused asana practice with emphasis on alignment and conscious breathing. Alos, every Wednesday of an Intensive is a Restorative practice. Come and learn how to do these incredible poses and also refine your own practice under the guidance of a highly skilled and seasoned teacher.

SVADYAYA: GET TO KNOW YOURSELF BETTER THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF YOGA ASANA INTENSIVE
Svadyaya: The study of the self. Self realization may sound like an unattainable concept but in reality it simply means getting to know yourself better. Yoga is one of the most effective means to help you do just that. The class begins with a nourishing reset of the nervous system and then chanting and prayer to connect to yourself and spirit. A conscious asana and pranayama practice follows, and the class always ends with a deep restful savasana in which Nicki reads spiritual poetry while you drop deeper and deeper into bliss and begin to let go of all that no longer serves you.
