Description
Integrate yoga inversions into your practice with this four-part course. There are many benefits that flow from the regular practice of inversions.

Inversions form a key part of Iyengar yoga and are practiced regularly as students start to move through the intermediate and advanced levels.
Designed specifically for students still in the process of learning full inversions, this course will guide you step-by-step.
