A dictionary definition of “invert” is to “put upside down or in the opposite position, order, or arrangement.”

Since we rarely, if ever, purposefully turn ourselves upside down, an aversion to inversions is natural. But it’s a shame to let fear keep us from so many benefits and delights.

Inversions set yoga apart from other physical disciplines. Without Inversions, the essence of yoga is missing.

Psychologically – Inversions allow us to see things from an alternate perspective.

Emotionally – they guide the energy of the pelvis (the energy of creation and personal power) toward the heart centre, enabling self-exploration, inner growth and happiness.

Physically, they stimulate the immune and endocrine systems, thereby invigorating and nourishing the brain and the organs. When done correctly, inversions also release tension in the neck and the spine.

Regular, daily practice of Inversions is addictive. They make you happy, revive your spirit and can lift any bad mood!

In this workshop Lars Kruger, a qualified Iyengar yoga teacher, will guide us through all the 4 main basic yoga inversions. Lars’ attention to detail, and his focus on alignment and health of the body, will enable you to approach the inversions with confidence from a safe and proper base.

The workshop is suitable for both beginner to advanced yoga practioners. For beginners, the workshop will introduce you to the fun world of inversions and for advanced practioners, the workshop will provide you with even more tools to advance your inversions.
