Inversions – Supported Quietness Part I

Supported inversions (upside down asanas) are an integral part of many therapeutic practices – for hormonal balance, addressing stress and anxiety, improving sleep, immunity, improving digestion, women’s health etc.

In these 2 sessions, we practice supported inversions for ease and quietness.  But before that, we consider how inversions are not just feet-up and head-down positions, but a much broader category of asanas.  Part 1 looks at the sirsasana family of supported inversions.  Part 2 looks at the sarvangasana family of supported inversions with varying degrees of the chin-lock (jalandhara bandha)
