Inversions and Twists Class

Baddha Hasta Sirsasana

Maha Mudra


Marichiasana III


Here is an intermediate sequence focusing on twists and inversions. I am still a beginner when it comes to the sanskrit terminology, therefore a mix of English and Sanskrit.




Downward Dog – head resting on a block (Note: move neck and shoulders away from the head)

Handstand – with strap on forearm below elbow
Forearm Stand (with block and strap against the wall)
Forearm Stand with palms facing up and sandbags on palms.
Sirsasana III (against the wall – hands clasp elbows – do both sides)
