If you have been waiting for a chance to learn or deepen
your practice (all levels welcome!) with floating, gliding, flying into arm
balances, this is the workshop for you.
Sometimes, the most powerful shifts in our practice on
the mat happen when you realize you can do something you did not think was
doable. You tap into the power of your mind's potential over what you thought
you were physically capable of, and find yourself in a completely new realm of
possibility. And when you surprise yourself - you feel a sense of
accomplishment, optimism and gratefulness that flows into other facets of your
life!
This workshop focuses on pranayama breathing exercises
and short meditation, then on to strengthening sequences and exercises to
create muscle memory that will help you transition into a number of creative
and challenging arm balances.
With conscious muscular engagement combined with fluid
movement, a little bit of shoulder / core / hip awareness and a sense of humor
you will be floating into arm balances including (but not limited to):
-Flying pigeon (eka pada galavasana)
-Sage Koundinya pose (eka pada koundinyasana b)
-Eight angle pose (astavakrasana)
-Crow pose (bakasana)
By anatomically breaking down the form and alignment, we
will make these poses fun and accessible! All this and more while remembering that there is no
deadline or reward for achieving any pose - embrace the journey (rather than
destination) and you will be floating before you know it!
Cost: $35
