This recordings in this Short Course for practice during Covid Recovery are not suitable for absolute beginners. Even though explanations and demonstrations are clearly given, basic knowledge of asana positions, use of props, and ability to hold positions for extended periods of time is required. Nor are we recommending this at the acute phase of the disease. Unless working under the supervision of a trained instructor, this practice should be started slowly in the recovery stage, and slowly built up. Especially this session is meant to be done much later in the recovery process. When the body is still weak, inversions might cause further exhaustion. It is possible to harness the therapeutic qualities of inversions only if one already has an inversions practice. At the recovery phase of an illness when the body is already debilitated, it might not be a good idea to ‘learn’ inversions – especially when working without supervision. in such cases, it is advised to stick with the simpler seated and supine asanas demonstrated in the other sessions of this Short Course
For those who are in good health, these sessions give an excellent understanding of quiet practice to improve respiratory health
