Arm balances can be empowering yoga postures that help us build strength, balance, confidence and concentration. These poses teach us not only about our inner strength, but also about our innate playfulness, courage and our ability to create lightness and space.
During these two hours yoga workshop you will learn how to approach a variety of arm balances with greater confidence, mindfulness and ease in a fun and challenging atmosphere.
-
We will begin this workshop with a vigorous, fun one hour Vinyasa class emphasizing the cornerstones of successful arm balances: core, open shoulders and balance.
-
Then we will spend the second hour exploring arm balances in deeper detail. We will deconstruct and analyze ways to master arm balances and tips and tricks to deepen your practice.
New to arm balances? No problem! This workshop is suitable for someone who’s simply curious, or for those of you who are ready for a new challenge. It’s an opportunity to bring a little playfulness to your practice and hopefully you’ll surprise yourself by what you can achieve in just a couple of hours.
Come with a playful attitude, no expectations and learn to fly!
