adho mukha vrksasana, handstand
Kickstart your New Year with Adho Mukha Vrksasana, HANDSTAND! What better way to start 2012 than with going upside down? Teachers will guide you through the asana from squaring the hips into an L shape at the wall to lifting up with one leg and then 2 legs and maybe flirting with balancing in the middle of the room. There are many wonderful poses to take along the way so let's all be full of wonder and marvel at the route instead of the destination this January.
