\nThe above are benefit statements for what kind of yoga poses?<\/p>\n
… inversions.<\/p>\n
Yes, inversions but if you have a neck issue, shoulder, rotator cuff issues*, vertigo, blood pressure issues, weakened core (e.g., from c-sections), expecting, or lack upper body strength needs to be rebuilt… it may be risky to go into a headstand or a shoulder-stands. Does that mean, you can’t do inversions?<\/p>\n
Noooo,
\nthere are many other options that can be done in “restorative” “therapeutic” style. Thank goodness I had the opportunity to learn the practical applications of yoga therapeutics (from none other than Judith Lasater:) In contrast to exclusivity of some advance level practice, her teachings can be tailored to the needs if all … it’s so inclusive…<\/p>\n
Yoga is for everyone.<\/p>\n
