In this practice with Rachel, we will set the foundation for developing a safe and effective inversion practice. This class targets key areas of the body for inversions: wrists, shoulders, hips, core, and hamstrings. Note: You will need a wall to do the practice.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class, as Day 1 of Rachel's 7-Day Inversion Challenge or as Day 5 of the Daily Dose 30-Day Intermediate Yoga Challenge.

What a marvelous first class for this series! Really highlighted and worked those tiny muscles in the arms, hips, shoulders, and core that are so necessary for safe inversions. Can't wait to continue!

Loved the wrist work section, overall a great class. Rachael’s cues are clear and easy to understand. The twisting a pickle jar shut metaphor was perfect. Also really appreciate that Rachael always balances out each side of the body. For example in waterfall pose Rachael has you cross your arms in both directions. I’m a bit on the ASD spectrum and feeling this specific kind of balance makes my brain happy.

I also appreciate a happy, balanced brain :) Yes - I've been loving those wrist exercises in my personal practice! I feel like they're a great antidote to desk life, too....
