Advanced Class 2: Finding your Center in Backbends and Inversions

Info

This class is about observing where our attention automatically goes within each pose and learning how to redirect it to find our center.

Advanced Class 2: Finding your Center in Backbends and Inversions

In the first half of this class, we will be taking an in-depth look at inversions such as Pincha Mayurasana and Sirsasana. Then, we will approach a wide range of backbends, including some of the more challenging ones like Vrishikasana (Scorpion Pose). From start to finish, we will also make a point of paying attention to our attention: where does it automatically go each time we go into a new pose? what happens to it if we repeat a pose? can we redirect it at will? do we know where to direct it? We will be exploring all this in an attempt to locate our center and thus get the most out of each pose.
