Inversions do not always have to involve balancing on your hands, holding challenging shapes, or pushing your body towards an advanced pose.

Gentle, supported inversions offer a different way to experience being upside down. By elevating the legs or carefully positioning the body with the support of props, these postures can create space for the body to slow down, release tension, and settle into a more restful state.

Inversions for the Nervous System is a 75-minute beginner-friendly restorative workshop that explores how gentle inversions can be used to support relaxation, recovery, and overall wellbeing. Rather than focusing on strength or balance, the session centres on calming, mostly reclined postures that can be held comfortably without placing unnecessary strain on the neck, shoulders, or spine.

Throughout the workshop, you will move through a series of supported inversion variations paired with slow breathing and longer-held positions. These practices may help promote circulation, encourage venous return from the lower body, relieve tired legs, reduce physical tension, and create an environment that supports deeper rest.

You will also learn simple restorative practices that can be incorporated into your own routine whenever you feel stressed, mentally fatigued, physically tired, or in need of time to reset.

Suitable for all ages and experience levels, this workshop does not include handstands, headstands, or advanced inversions. No previous inversion experience is required. Expect a gentle and unhurried practice designed to leave you feeling calmer, lighter, and more rested.
