with Betsey Downing, Ph.D

Betsey Downing, certified Anusara yoga teacher, presents a logical sequence of small steps, using the principles of Anusara yoga, to master going up into handstand and maintaining the pose with poise. You will learn techniques to:

• Strengthen your upper body for greater confidence
• Kick up successfully
• Balance from the wall
• Press-up from Standing Splits (Urdhva Prasarita Ekapadasana, or "UPEP")
• Press-up from Wide Legs Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana)

Honoring each step, no matter how small, in your process of learning this pose will bring success. The more you appreciate each little step, the more you empower the next one. You'll find that you're making progress toward handstand and having fun at the same time. Celebrate each part of your journey and enjoy it along the way.
