One year while teaching my Yoga Tune Up® Teacher Training course, I had trainees complain of chronic neck pain, hearing loss and vertigo. One thing they all had in common was a long history of performing the King and Queen of asana, Headstand and Shoulderstand. This class helps you analyze whether these poses are right for you, and what some valid alternatives might be for you for the long haul. Plus special corrective neck exercises if you were a longtime King/Queen poser.
After doing the HEADSTAND, SHOULDERSTAND AND PLOW: OTHER OPTIONS PLEASE? class, we recommend you also do the following classes from the Library:
May as well bring Handstand into this conversation. Luckily, this class outlines logical developmental steps for your to build the capacity to sustain a healthy Handstand approach. No handstands required in this practice (they are optional)!
In this series of MOVE, BREATHE, ROLL – The Logical/Mythological Series, Jill focuses on common myths and misperceptions of practice that still persist in yoga and movement classrooms today. Each class tackles a myth that unrolls like a sticky mat when you filter it through anatomy, kinesiology and physiology. Join Jill on this fun myth-busting journey that also translates into other popular movement forms including pilates, CrossFit and Instagram Inspo. Each class will attempt to unpack a myth from a historical/contextual lens and take you through Tune Up Fitness movement practices that help your body to be a lab of curiosity and discovery.
