Get a New Perspective for the New Year!
Join Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor, Anne Bowery for a four week intensive exploration of Inversions.
Who? All Levels Welcome.
Where? Austin Yoga Institute
How Much ? $55.00.
When? Saturdays 12:00- 1:30 PM January 2- 23, 2010
In this four week session, we will explore the enormous power that an inversion practice offers us. Classes will be structured around a basic inversion sequence suitable for home practice.

We will also learn the variations that make up the sirsasana and sarvangasana cycle, how to use chairs and ropes for a supported inversion practice, the poses that replace inversions during the menstrual cycle, and we’ll take a look at Adho Mukha Vrksasana (handstand) and Pincha Maryusasana (forearm balance).
Please pre-register with Anne directly at AnneBowery@yahoo.com.
*Regular AYS pass holders and students of Anne’s may attend individual class sessions with the instructor’s permission.
