Warrior2 & Shoulderstand

This session is a bit more strenuous with the ShoulderStand practice. But first, we start with some standing Warrior2 variations to strengthen the legs and open the sides. The ShoulderStand is an inversion. In it, the legs are as straight above your shoulders as possible; for some people it helps to place a folded blanket or thin pillow under the shoulders to allow space for your neck to retain its natural curve as the back of the head remains on the mat. You do not want to put pressure onto your neck. After you roll up into ShoulderStand, be sure to support your lower back with your hands in order to straighten your body above your shoulders. If a straight up position isn't comfortable, you can retain a slight bend at the hips, in Half ShoulderStand. Once you are comfortable, you can optionally move into variations like Plow, where you move one or both legs over your head toward the floor behind you. After rolling out of the intense forward curve of the back in ShoulderStand, you can counter with the Fish backbend, another fairly intense practice where you arch your spine from your sitting bones to the top of your head, with your ribs up and the crown of your head to the floor, if that works for you. These moves take practice, so if at first, you don't manage one or both, just go as far as is comfortable for your body. After some practice, it does usually get easier. And of course you may need a longer relaxation.
