Essential Inversions – Weekly Advanced Class 403

This 40-minute class is designed to strengthen and refine your practice of the essential Iyengar Yoga inversions. You will work through a sequence that includes preparatory variations and accessible approaches to Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand), Sirsasana (Headstand), Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Balance), and concludes with a supported Niralamba Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand). The class begins by linking Adho Mukha Svanasana with Handstand, then methodically builds strength and alignment through progressive variations that help prevent common problems such as neck compression, shoulder collapse, and lower back strain. These preparatory stages are invaluable both for newer students developing confidence and for experienced practitioners seeking to refresh their technique, build strength, and correct imbalances that can creep into regular practice. This class will give your inversions a boost, helping you progress safely and effectively while maintaining clarity and vitality in these transformative poses.
