In this shoulder opening practice, you will begin to warm up and educate your body to approach our peak pose, forearm stand. This exquisitely powerful inversion is similar to handstand, but also requires both heart opening and strength through the upper back and shoulders. Note: You will need a wall to do the practice.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 4 of Rachel's 7-Day Inversion Challenge.

Awesome awesome awesome! These classes just keep getting better and better! Rachel is an absolute genius in the way she breaks down each and every tiny step, helping to build strength and awareness, and eventually leading up to the final pose. Which of course I didn't come close to haha, and actually it doesn't matter, because as Rachel says, it's important to work on the stage you're at and perfect that before moving forward. I will definitely make this 7 day inversion challenge part of my regular practice and look forward to seeing the progress it brings!
