ARM BALANCE - PART 2
WORKSHOP
NEW DATE TBC
Arm balances can be such a fun part of our daily yoga practice. But all this fun, can often be replaced by fear, frustration or even anger especially when we do not understand the principles and mechanism or arm balances.
During this 90’ minutes workshop, Salvo will guide you through a short asana practice to prepare your body providing some essential warm up exercises followed by plenty of time to explore a range of different arm balances and techniques that can help you feel more confident and more relax while performing this type of asanas.
Some of the postures you will be exploring during this workshop are:
- Bakasana - Crow pose
- Eka Pada Bakasana - One legged crow
- Eka Pada Galavasana - Flying Pigeon
- Eka Pada Koundinyasa II - Hurdler pose
If you are at the beginning of your arm balance journey, We will strongly recommend you to attend to the “BEGINNER ARM BALANCE” Workshop first, as the format of this workshop is for students that have already started their arm balances journey and want to learn some more complex asanas and techniques.
