This class explores how to take Lotus while upside down with safety, clarity, and full-body action. Begin by practicing the essential “little move”—lifting and rotating the foot toward half Lotus—first seated, then in inversions with pelvic support from blocks. Emphasis is on participation: every joint and muscle contributing, avoiding the habit of passively yanking the leg into place. We connect this to the principle that “every pose is Samasthiti in disguise,” searching for shared characteristics across forms. Students try shoulderstand Lotus and headstand variations, learning to keep legs forward, thighs positioned in advance, and gestures faithful even when the full bind isn’t yet possible. The class closes with an inversion of choice and a group chant, leaving you with both technical steps and a devotional sense of practice.
