Shoulderstand Clinic

In the Iyengar tradition, when practiced with precision, Salamba Sarvangasana (Supported Shoulderstand) regulates all bodily systems, calms the mind, sharpens the intellect, and instills humility. Known as the Mother of all asanas by B.K.S. Iyengar, Sarvangasana nurtures the body, mind, and spirit, fostering equanimity.

Inversions hold a special place in the Iyengar method and are a hallmark of an experienced Iyengar class.  Students learn the basics, and build their understanding over time to garner the most benefit from this important pose.

This workshop is ideal for Iyengar yoga students who practice Shoulderstand regularly in weekly classes and wish to deepen their practice beyond the basics. You will explore variations of this essential pose, learn how to use props to enhance your understanding, and refine your alignment for an optimal experience.
