Focus

This concise 20-minute class offers a clear and methodical recap of essential inversion principles. It focuses on foundational variations of Sirsasana and Adho Mukha Vrksasana, beginning with simple positions that establish key reference points for alignment and orientation. The sequence then progresses through targeted shoulder-opening and upper-arm mobilising poses, followed by strengthening actions that build stability and confidence. These elements are brought together in carefully staged progressions towards full inversions, allowing you to work safely and steadily without moving beyond your comfort zone. The short duration makes this class ideal to practise alongside other sequences in the video library that do not include inversions, and it also works well as a stand-alone session when you’re looking for a focused shoulder opening and a consolidation of inversion essentials.
