Focus

Handstand, forearm balance, headstand and shoulderstand are the sole focus of this class. These four poses are fundamental inversions at this level. Being familiar with them will assist you in eventually making the transition to the weekly advanced classes.

Each inversion is broken down into preparatory stages which give you a clear method for eventually attaining the full pose. It will be beneficial to regularly come back and repeat this class. At only 30 minutes in duration it can easily be added to another class from the library.

This class will help to strengthen and improve mobility in your wrists and shoulders. It will help to build overall body strength and awareness.These poses are naturally energising and confidence building.
