Do head-down poses like Headstand, Shoulderstand and Downward Facing Dog really increase blood flow to your brain? No, but when you turn upside-down, your physiology does change dramatically. Your blood pressure, heart beat, circulation, breathing, hormones, and brain activity are all affected. This class will teach you what happens, how it works, what good it does, what to avoid, and how to use this knowledge to get the most out of your practice of both head-up and head-down yoga postures.
