Why do we practice inversions in yoga? Whether you're a headstand expert, or just figured out the correct alignment for your downward facing dog- you’re doing an inversion🤸🏼‍♂️ An Inversion is when heart is over your head. It provides increased blood flow to the brain, improves balance, and strengthens your back and core muscles✨ . . . Pictured: @rooosiee -She teaches Strong Vinyasa Classes on Wednesday’s at 6:15 pm . . Poses: Rosie is doing a “3 Legged Downward Facing Dog” in the first photo and "Flipping her Dog” in the second photo✌️
What are twists in yoga? 🧐 In general, twists are particularly powerful for “wringing out” the stresses and anxieties of the day. Yoga teaches us that lengthening the body with these poses helps to create space in the vertebrae, improve digestion, and allow energy to flow freely throughout the body🌺 . . . Come ease into twists with Beau! Along with her regular schedule (Monday at 8pm and Saturday at 5pm) she will now permanently be teaching Saturday at 3:30pm as well🌟 Pose: Beau is doing an Open Twist in Side Angle
