They will include some pranayama/ meditation. We shall incorporate group requests such as handbalancing, backbends, acro, yin, restorative and yoga nidra. With the handstand work, everyone shall find a place to be comfortable in some handstand variation and everyone shall find that they expand their abilities.The classes are geared for developing the teacher within, even if you are not a “teacher”! So you can develop your understanding/ experience/ focus of each exercise. We are doing this retreat together . We can see how different body types can approach certain positions differently to get the best fruit.
