Everything You Need to Know About Inversions
Episode No. 30
This week Giana and Bradshaw talk about Inversions- particularly headstands, forearm stands, and Handstands. Before getting into It they enjoy lighthearted banter and as their 2024 Retreat and YTT approaches, reminisce about Nicaragua. As for the Inversion talk, they detail their experience and preferences, the reason for including inversions in your practice, and even give helpful tips for getting upside down. They also weave in anecdotes about fears, Barbie, Periods, and so much more. We hope you enjoy this conversation and thank you for listening. As always, rate, review, and subscribe!
