Yoga flow, inversion & yin workshop
Join us to explore and get comfortable with common postures people are challenged by in the Ashtanga yoga primary series. These poses test our internal strength, flexibility and love of yoga. We will focus on the closing sequence with inversions, and have an opportunity to practice Sirsasana (headstand) and Urdvha Padmasana (upward lotus pose), however all poses have options for variations. After a short break and a healthy treat we complete the workshop with a restorative Yin Yoga session.
