Advanced Yoga Workshop - Plow Pose and Shoulder Stand

Plow Pose and Shoulder Stand are two poses that have particularly had a big impact on my life. 

After being diagnosed with thyroiditis and hypothyroidism in 2011, I began incorporating these poses into my daily practice to help stimulate the thyroid gland. The power of this practise, along with other dietary and lifestyle changes, enabled me to get my condition under control. I was also able to avoid having to take medication, which my doctor said I would need to continue to take for the rest of my life. 

Now, over 10 years later, I am symptom free and continue to enjoy the benefits of practising these two inverted postures.

I'd love to share my love of Plow Pose and Shoulder Stand with you. In this workshop, you will be guided through a series of warm up exercises and a number of therapeutic variations of these poses.

My hope is that this workshop will give you a greater appreciation for these two poses and break down any fear you associate with them. My goal for you is that after this workshop you will feel confident in including these two poses in your yoga practise and enjoy the benefits they bring.       

In this workshop, you will:

• be guided through a series of warm up exercises in preparation for Plow Pose and Shoulder Stand
• learn about the benefits associated with practising these poses regularly
• explore different therapeutic versions of these poses and learn how to incorporate them into your yoga practise

After the workshop, you will receive access to recorded yoga sequences incorporating these poses for you to practise at home.

This workshop is for people who:

• have been practising yoga for a minimum of 6 months
• want to explore more challenging inverted poses
• want guidance on how to achieve these poses safely and and be guided by an experienced teacher 
• want to include these poses in their home practise
• are suffering from health issues, such as thyroid problems, and want to include yoga as a therapy or healing modality
