Join Emma  for a fun, accessible, and safe workshop on headstand! Whether you've been practicing for years or just thought "I could never do that!", this workshop is perfect for you! We will spend time in a yoga practice focusing on muscles needed for headstand, then take time to break down the pose and move through it step by step. Of course, a long and luxurious savasana to top it all off! 

In case your wondering why you would want to do headstand in the first place, here are some benefits...

-Strengthens the core, spine, and arms.

-Calms the brain making it a great pose to relieve stress and insomnia.

-Opens up and strengthens the lungs.

-Can help relieve symptoms of depression.

-Makes your organs very happy! 

-Sends nutrients to the heart and brain and refreshes the circulatory system.

Headstand also teaches us to face our fears and allows us to shift our perspective, not just literally! 

Sound good? The workshop will be held at Simplify Yoga, February 11, from 1-3pm and the cost is $20. The workshop will be held on a sign up basis (minimum of three people) so if you're interested, be sure to sign up!
