The headstand, or Salamba Sirsasana, is a challenging pose, but also a deeply rewarding one. In fact, it can be seen as the culmination of the Ashtanga Primary Series and as such it deserves a little extra love and attention.
If you find headstand frustrating, or if the very idea of standing on your head is intimidating or even scary, this is the workshop for you. We’ll logically and pragmatically break down the principles and purpose of this pose, and move through a flow designed to help you find the stability, engagement, balance and confidence you need to safely achieve a free-standing headstand – and more importantly, find the joy in inversion.
Cost £35

About Matt (in his own words)
I first became entranced by yoga at a music festival in the wilds of Scotland in the mid-2010s, and I have been exploring its myriad facets ever since. My curiosity and adventures somehow led me to teacher training, and after an extremely challenging, fascinating and fulfilling year, I became a MCY 200-hour graduate in 2021.
