9:30am - 11:30am (HYBRID)

Join Yoga Cville for a workshop on inverted postures. Inversions are some of the most powerful poses in yoga practice. They bring new energy to the brain and the body by inverting the legs, renewing blood in the heart and lungs, and getting this newly oxygenated blood to the thyroid, pituitary, and brain. The endocrine system can thus better regulate our hormonal cycles as we develop more refined physical and mental balance.
