Iyengar Yoga - Head Stand Fundraiser

The last TOG Mind fundraiser of 2022!
On Sunday 18th December local people came together at the Manchester and District Iyengar Yoga (MDIY) Centre in Stalybridge to raise funds for TOG Mind through a sponsored headstand event.
With some people taking part on Zoom video at home and several participants lasting up to 15mins, a fantastic afternoon was had by all.

'December is a difficult month for many and so we want to run an event that supports the local community we are part of. Why headstand? Well, it seems quite apt. We think of our heads when we think of mental health issues and there is nothing like turning upside down to give you a different perspective on life. The benefits of Sirsasana are widely known in Iyengar Yoga, BKS Iyengar wrote: “Regular and precise practice of Sirsasana and Sarvangasana develops the body, disciplines the mind and widens the horizons of the spirit. One becomes balanced and self-reliant in pain and pleasure, loss and gain, shame and fame and defeat and victory”.
