Spiralling Towards Handstand
A Workshop On Twists And Inversions
Twists cleanse the body, mind and energetic field of stagnant, strong emotions, so we may create the space within ourselves to perceive a reality beyond the confines of selfishness and our own, personal dramas. Inversions permit us to see the world upside down, thus enhancing the breadth of our perception. The centers of higher consciousness are stimulated, and through a complete reversal of gravity, stagnant physiological processes are activated and rejuvenated. Spiritual teachings will be drawn from the Jivamukti Focus of the Month.
