How To Prep For Shoulder Stand ~ Yoga Tech

This is a live excerpt of a recording during a yoga enrichment teacher training lecture for a group of yogis studying to be teachers with Jes Rosenberg. Shoulder stand is the “Queen” of all asanas and the fountain of youth. This advanced inversion is cooling, calming and nourishing. It allows one to exhibit strength, control and helps counteract damage of bad posture. What I think is the beauty of this pose is that it builds confidence and humility as it helps one flip perspectives and overcome fear. This pose is based on Tadasana. It stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and prepares the body for action.
