It’s often said that fear is excitement in hiding. Use this practice as a way to break through limiting beliefs as you build core strength, physical balance, and steady alignment helping you move past fear and reach into a simplified variation of handstand called Eka Pada Vrksasana with joy, excitement, and confidence. A block and a wall are suggested for this practice.
great class – i am a yogi who can’t do handstands and don’t really care, but this is a great class regardless. the handstand part is relatively short and easily adjustable to any level you’re at. almost felt more like it was a peak pose of a class rather than an entire class just devoted to handstands. so good for everyone regardless of whether you love or hate handstands!
I’ve worked up to doing headstands earlier this year, but handstands felt too intimidating. This session helped me to do wall-supported handstands for the first time. Thank you, Lauren, for helping me to get over the fear 🙏🏾.
The sequence was decent and I liked that there was no background music. However, there was no opportunity to go inward and listen to my body as the instructor talked the whole time non-stop. I think the camera work could have been a little better too as it often focused on the instructor and not the people doing the asanas, so if you didn’t understand a cue you couldn’t figure it out by looking at those practicing.
