Our series of fun and non-intimidating workshops returns for 2024! These two-hours workshops are tailored for beginners as well as those who want to revisit the foundations of the Vinyasa Yoga practice.
We will continue to break down the fundamental concepts and principles of Vinyasa Yoga, delving further into arm balancing and inversions, as well as dedicating a workshop to the magic of backbending.
We take the time to analyze essential and most common Yoga poses, how to get into and out of them, and most importantly - how to tailor them to your body and your practice.
Each session will start with a proper warm-up and end with a few yin poses and a soothing Savasana.
You will leave each workshop not only feeling stronger but also more confident and empowered the next time you join a group class!
This is perfect for you if you have recently started practicing, or if you have taken a break from the mat for whatever reason. It can serve as a perfect transition if you have started yoga online and now want to move to in-person classes! But these workshops are open to anyone who fancies going "back to basics" and learn tips and tricks that we never have time to share during a 60 minutes class.
An intro to… Inversions and headstands ~ Pt 2
Inversions can be an exhilarating and empowering group of postures to include in your yoga practice, if you want them there. Learning to go upside down is fun and entirely accessible, as long as you have time to devote to it and a willingness to be playful and courageous! By breaking down the postures, and learning step-by-step entrances and exits of the poses, we’ll create a non-intimidating, safe and playful space to explore going upside down.
We’ll devote plenty of time to the foundations and mechanics of Headstand or Sirsasana, also dubbed as “The king of yoga poses”. We’ll also play around with variations such as Tripod Headstand as well as Forearm Stand or Pincha Mayurasana. If you already attended Pt 2, fear not - there will be a lot more learning as well as revisiting and spending even more time on what we learnt last time.
