Come and join us for a fun filled workshop exploring the world of Yogic Arm Balances and Inversions.
If you want to develop your arm balances and inversions – it takes practice, perseverance, and dedication and in a regular 90-minute class there isn’t always enough time to really explore many of the more challenging poses. In this 3-hour workshop we will look at the subtleties and alignment that are required to achieve these poses.
We will look at the finer details of anatomy and physiology and the importance of the two lower internal body locks, Mula and Uddiyana Bandha. Understanding these core teachings will give you a sense of lightness to assist in getting ‘lift-off’ in our arm balances. When the body, breath and mind align, you will experience the beautiful freedom of internal flight.
Inversions are also physically beneficial and increase blood flow to the brain, improve memory, support your endocrine system, improve balance and spatial awareness, build upper body and core strength.
You will learn how to create ‘lift-off’ using not just external muscular strength, but internal lift from the correct use of both the root lock (Mula Bandha) and the upward flying lock (Uddiyana Bandha). If you have ever wanted to learn how to take your handstand away from the wall, feel more stable in your headstand or want to learn how to hold your forearm stand you will learn all this and much more in this workshop.
You don’t have to be the strongest or the most flexible to attend this workshop – you just need a sense of adventure and be willing to let go of your self-limiting beliefs.
