Shoulderstand, or Salamba Sarvangasana, is often described as the "queen of asanas" - and for good reason. This powerful inversion offers a wealth of benefits for both body and mind, yet in a typical one-hour class, we rarely have time to explore it in depth. This special 90-minute Philosophy & Flow Masterclass is your chance to truly get to know the pose.
We'll break down the journey into Shoulderstand with care and intention - beginning with thoughtful warm-ups and preparatory postures to safely open the body and build strength. From there, we’ll progress step by step towards Shoulderstand variations and explore Halasana (Plough Pose), its natural and nourishing transition. We’ll complete the practice with essential counterposes to restore balance, followed by a deeply restful Savasana.
As with all our Philosophy and Flow sessions, this is not just about the asana. We’ll weave in an exploration of the energetic and anatomical relevance of these poses - connecting with the throat chakra (Vishuddha) in Eastern anatomy and diving into the effects of inversions on the nervous system in Western physiology.
Expect insight, exploration, and empowerment. You’ll leave with greater confidence, clarity, and a deeper understanding of how these poses can support your ongoing practice.
This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to deepen your relationship with one of yoga’s most transformative postures.
