Turn It Upside Down: Inversions Master Class with Sarah Fishman
In-Studio Only* Sunday, February 2 | 12:30-3:00pm
Whether you love inversions, or are curious-but-nervous about them, join Sarah for a master class dedicated to being upside-down!
When practiced safely, inversions can: ~ relieve skeletal compression, ~ alleviate swelling in the lower body, and ~ have positive influence on the cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, and endocrine systems.
But the benefits of being upside-down go beyond the physical; inverting literally reverses our usual perspective, and can distribute the creative energy of the second chakra (found in the pelvis) toward the heart and brain, altering our mental, emotional and energetic states toward greater clarity and vitality.
This workshop will include a lecture and discussion about the energetics, anatomy and safety factors of various inversions, and a vinyasa flow warm-up to strengthen and stretch key areas of the body in order to safely prepare for asanas like L-at-the-wall, handstand and forearm balance, and shoulder stand. Everyone who wishes will receive hands-on assistance for kicking up, and those already kicking up on their own will receive tips for (eventually!) moving their inversions away from the wall.
Cost: $39 by January 24th; $45 as of January 25th and beyond HYC Members' 15% discount applies
Offered In-Studio Only *Students with experience inverting on their own who wish to practice from home via Zoom may email sarah@thehappyyogi.com to request to participate virtually.
