This 15-minute talk introduces the Finishing Poses module, exploring why these often-overlooked postures—backbends, headstand, and shoulder stand—are essential to a complete Ashtanga practice. We’ll cover the traditional vinyasa sequences, key benefits, and a systematic approach to refining these poses. Through modifications, props, and strategic techniques, you’ll learn how to extract their full value—building strength, balance, and meditative focus to bring your practice to a powerful close.
