Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Shoulder Stand  /  Salamba Sarvangasana

  • Shoulder Stand is an inversion.  Inversions are helpful in invigorating and energizing the body.
  • Support the hips with the hands, placing the heel of the hand along the hip bone
  • Guide the elbows in towards the side body, narrowing the stance of the elbows
  • Stack the ankles over the hips (avoid draping the toes over the eyes - be more upright instead)
  • Create space between the chin and chest.  Allow for opening of the throat chakra
  • Allow room for the breath
