Did you know…
Not only does standing on your hands build core and upper body strength, it also stimulates your endocrine system by increasing bloodflow to your head. This helps to boost your metabolism as well as reducing stress hormones. It can also improve your proprioception leading to better balance and spatial perception… an all-round win!
What you should bring with you:
- Close-fit, stretchy clothing
- Bottle of water
- Small towel
- Warm clothes for the cool down and stretch at the end of the session
Other ways to prepare yourself:
- Don’t apply any oils or lotions to your body in the few hours before the class
- Try not to eat right before class
- Please don’t wear jewellery and try to avoid clothes with zips or other non-fabric embellishments
