Turning Downdog into a Headstand - Preview

Avatar of Mary Taylor
Level 2-3 - 10 mins

Downward dog and headstand are like two siblings in a family of postures that require concentration, strength and an intelligent connection of arms to your shoulder and torso. Prep your shoulders with puppy pose before diving deep into the foundations of headstand with arm and twisting variations. Explore methodically how these two postures inform one another and serve as a foundation for a strong yet contemplative and safe inversion practice.
