Fundamentals of Inversions with Maria
Saturday November 23, 10:30-12:30pm
New to inversions?
Nervous to be upside down?
Feeling unstable while inverting?
Want to get more comfortable being upside down?
Whether you are new to inversions, want to take your practice to a new level or have some experience inverting but would like some specific guidance and refinement to your practice, this workshop is for you!
During our 2 hours together we will dive into what are some of the best practices and precautions when it comes to inversions.
We will look at the mechanics of a handstand in its many variations, try a headless headstand, which is a real special experience, as well as learning the fundamentals of classic headstand, Sirsasana 1.
You will both work individually on your own mat, as well as supporting fellow yogis on their specific inversion journey. Come as you are, with an open heart and explore some of the most fundamental principles of inversion practice.
As mentioned, you can be completely new to inversions, however a regular exposure to asana practice prior to this workshop, is strongly recommended.
About the teacher:
Breath, functional alignment and inclusivity are central elements in all Maria’s classes. To her, Yoga is about balance, intention and self-inquiry. She specializes in Yoga fundamentals, Pranayama and Yin yoga.
In 2007, Maria was encouraged into yoga class by a dance teacher, to become a more flexible dancer. Once she stepped on the yoga mat at the local Ashtanga Shala, she discovered a much-needed sanctuary for both mind, body and spirit. Here she was able to begin shredding some of the toxic perfectionism linked to pursuing a professional dance career, and getting on the yoga mat shifted, from being a physical fight to achieve perfection, to being a place to grow, inquire and work on self-acceptance.
As a longtime Yoga student, and yoga teacher since 2013, Maria believes Yoga is for every body and strives for every person to leave class feeling seen and cared for, regardless of experience level and physical capacity. She caters to all students who seek well-rounded asana classes with an added sprinkle of pranayama, philosophy and playfulness.
