Located at the spectacular Cumberland Plateau, Isha Institute offers Hata Yoga class on monthly basis, which once you learn, you can practice for rest of your life.(next one coming up on November 19-20, 2011)

You are also invited to come and explore this place. Bring your friend or family member for Monthly Open House and experience the largest meditation hall in western hemisphere ( 39.000 sq. ft. free-spanning dome), learn simple yoga & meditation practice, enjoy complimentary vegetarian lunch, experience the breath taking vistas and forest trails.
(Next Open House: November 19th, 2011)

Best Regards,
Denis

First of all, there are medical contraindications for inversions. It depends on the style of inversion and the physical ailment.
