A Peaceful Yoga Flow with Inversions - 40 Mins - Headstand, Pincha, and Handstand Flow

"Consciousness free from the limitations of the mind is known as the inner intelligence: it is the essential nature of no-mind. That is the reality, that is supreme consciousness, that is the state known as the supreme self." Yoga Vasistha (V:50)
Hi Yogis!
This one grounds us with breath and moves at a mindful pace. The work in it kind of sneaks up. We end up upside down quite a bit: in chin stand, forearm stand, headstand and handstand, with some sweet, simple flowing in between.
As always, work at your own pace. Pause and take it the wall if you want to stay with something a little longer than I'm offering here.
Consider the practice a guide, always feeling free to back off or amp it up according to how you're feeling.
There's nothing quite like heading to a studio and practicing with great teachers and a great community, but when that's not possible, check back here!
I love reading your comments, and I'd love to hear how this practice felt. I'm always adjusting according to your feedback, so thank you!
Be Love!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Starting my morning with this! Thank you for always graciously sharing your practice with us!!! I am in ♡ with your style & the challenges you allow me to try!!!!"
"I've started taking your classes and enjoying every moment of the practice in the early morning before heading out for work. Thank you very much. Namaste."
"I find your classes unique and inspiring, They leave me feeling the best version of me."
"I have been loving your classes. Thank you for making them."
"Hi Leigha, I did your first class again (forearm stand) and I feel sooooo good now. Thank you!
I decided to do the whole series one by one again. It has been around 52 classes already, so it will take me some time.
Good on you!"
"The last class (throat chakra) was absolutely amazing. Thank you for your wisdom you share with us. I also really enjoyed nauli pranayama."
"After the shavasana and the short meditation in the end, I got up off the mat and I experienced an incredible feeling of lightness, as if i was light as a feather, thank you."
"I did handstand class again today. I can feel such a progress in those L-stand hops. The whole class felt much easier than the first time. Thank you Leigha."
"Compass Pose class was pure bliss, I’m feeling rejuvenated and reached compass pose for the first time in a while unexpectedly. I love you and your practices Leigha. Thank you so much for sharing with us."
"Hi Leigha, I took last class (Peace) outside by the lake I live.
The class itself made me feel peaceful and as I was listening to the sounds of the birds between your words and watching the top of the trees, it even intesified my feeling of blissfulness and peace.. I finished when the sun was setting down and I was listening to the frogs and birds while taklng shavasana. Thank you for another amazing class.
"I feel grateful as I am improving so much with your guidance. I can feel open in my shoulders, thoracic spine as never before, leg behind head feels easy and slowly slowly I can do king pieon for rhe first time in my life (just on one side). I do not even attend any yoga classes anymore as I just love doing yoga at home and your guidance is the best for me anyway (I do yoga for several years but your classes make a big difference. and I love you make them in accessible way, I never feel any strain… you can teach and prepare and open body with an ease and grace). "
"Hello Leigha!
First of all, a big thank you for the chin-stand themed practice. It was intense, I will definitely be coming back to it,… once my pride recovers!! It is a struggle for me.
Just did Paradise and Grasshopper… soooo amazing, I finally really feel how incredible and energizing back bends are. Huge smile on my face when I kicked over from the wall.
Thank you again."
"Hey Leigha, I just completed your newest class, Paradise. I feel like I’m on cloud nine. The shavasana in the end felt so blissful. The sensation of bliss so….tangible, it felt like it was sloshing and spreading around in my body, gently tingling and glittering. I was lying on my mat with a big grin of contentment slowly appearing on my face, couldn’t help it. I’m very grateful. Sending my love to you and all the yogis practicing with you."
"I just did Open Hearted, BEAUTIFUL practice, feeling so open and accepting of loving energy built up in my heart. Thank you Leigha!"

[@stilted]

I stuck with headstand for all inversions... because when you said to get into a splits position and try lifting the lower leg, I was like "eh, let's give it a try" - and it worked for the first time!! I had only been able to get into from wide leg/ straddle before. Still not enough strength to do pincha - but maybe next time around!💞 Thank you!

[@MusicTheoryMovies]

You are so good at helping me be open through my chest. Thanks, Leigha!

[@LeighaButler]

You are so welcome!

[@giulia4881]

[@Nutmeg1644]

Wow love this flow. Ur arms are so strong when gracefully flowing to chin stand. Hope I’ll be able to do that in time. For now, still working on my pincha. Hopefully soon, without the wall. 😍ur amazing! Namaste 🙏

[@zuzannasri552]

I love the slow transition between asanas, joy-in-the-body‼️ Thanks 🙏 Leigha ‼️

[@chelseasheehan2300]

I've gone back to this one 3x so far! So fun, love all the inversions

[@dianepotteryoga]

Thank you for this video. Even though I am a member and I look forward to your weekly classes, I revisit this class often. It is fun to play and to see my progress. Your creative practice is a blessing for me.

[@morganeck2452]

My FAVORITE days are he ones you release new vids! Shared on Twitter, love you Leah!

[@emmadreyfus1627]

what a perfect surprise when i come across older videos i missed! this practice was everything i needed today. thank you.

[@zuzannasri552]

This is meditation-in-the-movement practice, the perfect tempo for me. I breathe very slowly, other practice are bit too fast for me, I enjoy this one more then the others. I’ll love to repeat this session every morning for next few days. 🙏 namaste and sukkuriya‼️ Have a great day 🌞 yogis 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️

[@LeighaButler]

Thank you, Zuzanna

[@elsysoteldo7338]

I tried doing this class before, and my body was just in a different tune, today i even extend the class pausing the video to keep trying. Everyday i understand more about how yoga works. Thank you very much, i apreciate your work ❤️ you inspire my practice and help me to improve ❤️ Namasté ✨

[@ddp9506]

Excellent video! I love the integration of inversions - I was able to both feel like I was doing a flow class while working on expanding my practice with inversion play.

[@LeighaButler]

Awesome.

[@anuragsingh7916]

Hello Leigha. I started following your videos from last month and feel that you are the best yoga teacher over youtube

[@MissDuke2012]

This was so good for me!!! Thank you! Always excited when you upload a new flow!!

[@SimpliShelli]

[@Conscience-Éternelle]

Too much time has past ! Thank you for finally upload a new yoga class !

[@nadinemeiner6735]

Yess!!!! I waited for this soooo long. Thank you so much Leigha! Your are amazing :-)

[@amandaclark2419]

What a beautiful flow; calming and strong. I've been stuck in the handstand practice for years but keep chipping away. Thank you.

[@LeighaButler]

+Amanda Clark Hi 👋🏽😄

[@MissDuke2012]

Amanda Clark I agree!

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

This was a fantastic flow - I absolutely loved it and will be doing this again!

[@chancymullins5780]

[@LeighaButler]

[@zuzannasri552]

Yes! I woke up too! after short sleep this night 😊

[@FrankieForever2024-k7s]

I LOVE your videos! I am working my way through each one. You are one of the few who post challenging and hour + videos. Thank you so much, can't wait for the next. x

[@toddhaggard3590]

That was really challenging! Thank you!

Amazing class, I feel so open! Thank you Leigha, miss your free videos...

[@chelseasheehan2300]

This was a great one! I reallllllyy love your website with all our hour flows but sometimes I don't have 60 min which is actually more like 1.5 hr - 2 when always doing yoga with your 3 year old next to you. So that means I come to your youtube for your shorter ones

[@LeighaButler]

I totally understand! I’ve been thinking about offering shorter classes throughout the week on LBY because I know you’re not alone. It’s not always easy to get undivided help for 60-mins

[@Hooponopono.]

Bella!! Bravissimo 💓👏🏼👏🏼

[@carlottaholy-steinemann7388]

wow- thanks leigha- for all the videos you do, i follow you along time today this practice made me fly. i could stay in forearm balance and handstand after years : )

[@LeighaButler]

Niiice. It feels so freeing and playful doesn’t it? Makes me feel like I’m at home in body, and it’s a good place to be. Glad it worked out for you.

[@martalanzoni5100]

Sooooo looking forward to new amazing, classes 🤗🤗🤗 💙💙

[@schricka]

This was beautiful thank you!

[@Mochi227]

Great practice, really enjoyed the "feel for piking" handstand drills at the end :)

[@jarofpickles29]

Awesome video! This just changed the yoga game for me. I started practicing headstands and I didn't know there was so many variations. You have great balance and I need a lot more practice haha.

[@anabelacantiani4214]

You are awesome!!

[@JibaBrahma]

love your videos.... it helped me a lot with my yoga practice. . 😗😗😗

[@Meghhon]

oh my goodness, i am SOOO happy you posted another video!! i am really trying to incorporate my handstands into my everyday flows and this was amazing..you are amazing!! your flows make my heart and soul fill with light and love. thank you for sharing. love love love you, leigha!!!

[@Sirillik]

Très belle séance ! Merci beaucoup

[@CowboyBebop444]

Awesomeness

[@claudiayogachandra]

Muy buena. Namasté🙏

[@celinex9948]

Great way to practise yoga with you, please share more 60 minutes yoga flow class and maybe including the practise of core :)

[@LeighaButler]

+Celine X9 Aha! Great idea.

[@catquinnyoga]

Great class! My shoulders were a bit too tight for pincha but headstand and handstand woohoo! Thanks and Namaste

[@aliciachojnowska9905]

Thanks for a great class. You are real Master in your domain. I'm quite lightly going up in handstands, however to keep balance without a wall it's still impossible. The same pincha. I'm beginning the third year my yoga practice on daily basis and I'm wondering what kind of energy is going to bring 2021. Best wishes for you😅

[@LeighaButler]

To you too!

[@derroland8756]

Ha! After your handstand tutorial I nailed the jumping into handstand for the first time today! (like 3s lol). A new fave for medium time frame. also love the modified warrior one with half bind! what is it called? Namaste!

[@JoKer-pi9ci]

The shorts are perfectly fine. Great video, keep up the good work!

[@Thefitty]

Ditto!

[@Thefitty]

*Short shorts... Good thing you caught it! :-) on a totally different note, have you ever tried nude yoga?*

[@zollipop]

Hi Leigha! Nice yoga shorts you're wearing. Can you do headstands or handstands on a wooden beam? Lovely flow!

[@LeighaButler]

+zollipop Hm. It’d be worth a try. Do you do that?

[@zollipop]

Hi Leigha. Oh no! I don't do that. I was just wondering if you could do those poses on a beam as a challenge given your strong body control. Impressive!

[@LeighaButler]

+zollipop :) :) I think I’d fall out of my handstand. But it’d probably be great practice!

[@TheGentlemanThief]

This is awesome. Do you have anything for piriformus syndrome? It's killing me!!!!

[@LeighaButler]

+Wesley Rana Great idea for a class. In the meantime, the poses ardha matsyendrasana, reclined twists, and pigeon are your friends. If you’re mid-flare-up, though, tread lightly! Heat, ice, acupuncture, massage, and foam rolling might feel great. Sorry if you’ve heard those a thousand times already.

[@TheGentlemanThief]

Actually these are great ideas! Thanks!

[@Yogired008]

YYEESSSSSSSS!!!!!! Where have u been??? I’ve missed u!!!!!!

[@DulcineaRosalie]

my feelings exactly!!!

[@piccadillylily7242]

Is the unedited version available for purchase?

[@LeighaButler]

+Piccadilly Starling In the raw footage, I walk off the mat to check the time, haha. I don’t think anyone wants to buy it!

[@உயிர்மெய்ஞானம்-அய்யாரமேஷ்]

so fluent......

[@Yogired008]

which mat cleaner would u recommend?

[@LeighaButler]

+Yogired008 We use witch hazel and water with lavender and eucalyptus essential oils.
