Blog Tag: Inversions
Inversions refer to any pose that places the head below the heart, from gentle legs-up-the-wall to challenging handstands. Inversions are called the "king of poses" because they promote blood return to the brain, stimulate the lymphatic system, and bring entirely new body perspectives.
Learning inversions takes time, patience, and proper method. We recommend starting with shoulderstand or wall-supported headstand, first building adaptation to body inversion. Core strength and upper body strength form the foundation for inversions; equally important is overcoming psychological fear of being upside-down.
Inversions aren't just physical challenges but psychological breakthroughs. When you first balance independently away from the wall, the sense of achievement is indescribable. At Tapas Yoga, teachers use safe assistance methods to help you progressively build inversion confidence and ability.
