Description:
Join Jean Marie to explore several variations of the Queen of all asana: Shoulderstand, or Salamba Sarvangasana. This whole-body pose offers strength and balance for our spine, tone and strength for our legs, balancing effects for our endocrine system, hormones, and digestive system, relief for headaches, and on and on. In this tutorial, Jean Marie will guide you through a beginner's variation of Shoulderstand using the support of a wall, an intermediate variation using the support of a folding chair, and the full pose balancing without support. From there, learn how to explore dropping back into Bridge Pose, or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana, and lifting back up into Shoulderstand: an exercise that offers even more balance of strength and flexibility for our backs, openness through the chest, and core and leg strength. Enjoy this action-packed tutorial!
