Explore the mechanics of the neck, upper back and shoulders within your own body and assess where you have freedom and limitation.

Use your assessment to uniquely navigate the preparatory asanas and exercises as we build toward the shoulderstand, queen of all asanas.

Ultimately, find a supportive and clear way to practice shoulderstand (salambha sarvangasana) that meets your exact needs, thus imparting the therapeutic benefits of the posture without risk to the neck vertebrae and discs.

A steady movement or yoga practice with some familiarity of shoulderstand is recommended for this class.
