In this online workshop you will learn how to invert safely and effortlessly. Maintaining the inversion offers tremendous healing— stimulating circulation, energizing the nervous system, calming the mind, and allowing the spirit to shine forth. Join us to learn several accessible ways to approach turning yourself upside down and experience for yourself the blessings of practicing these most beneficial poses. Inversions are for every one!

Props for this workshop: 2 folding metal yoga chairs (or a set of 2 sturdy chairs without arms or wheels), 3 firm blankets, a yoga bolster (or 2–3 additional firm blankets), and a yoga belt.

Zoreh Afsarzadeh, founder and director of High Desert Yoga, has been teaching yoga since 1985. In addition to teaching weekly asana classes and private sessions for the general population, co-directing the Yoga Teacher Training program, and hosting yoga and meditation retreats around the world, Zoreh leads weekend workshops on a wide variety of topics in yoga and well-being. Zoreh’s upbringing in Iran started her on the path of Sufism, meditation, and spirituality, and during her lifetime, she has studied numerous methodologies including Iyengar, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Siddha yoga, and that of the American Yoga College. Zoreh’s joyous personality and sense of humor endear her to her students with a teaching style that is both nurturing and fun, and her teaching combines a delicate knowledge of the body that allows a compassionate authentic expression of the postures to emerge.
