Known as the “king of the asanas” because of its remarkable benefits, the headstand is the first of the 12 yoga poses practiced in our open classes.

This posture benefits the brain, spinal cord, and sympathetic nervous system, and strengthens the circulatory and respiratory systems.

If you are struggling with this pose, come out for this workshop and receive additional assistance and support. We will review the eight steps for coming in to and out of the pose safely and systematically and how to overcome common mistakes.
