Play with arm balances

We all fall down in life! It is how we recover that defines us and ultimately shapes our future. Practicing balancing postures is an effective way to develop the courage and determination we need to try again when life is not going as planned. Together we will play with balance in a light-hearted and curious way.

We will fall a lot and laugh a lot, and ultimately develop the courage and strength that is necessary to be strong and flexible in both body and mind. We will explore together how to get into different arm balances, how to practice toward the full pose, and how to use props. We will also cover more advanced variations for those who already are confident in arm balances, and practice transitions that incorporate the poses into a flow.

  1. Bakāsana – Crow

  2. Parśva Bakāsana – Side Crow

  3. Eka-Pāda-Bakāsana - One Legged Crow

  4. Aṣṭāvakrāsana - Eight Bends Pose

  5. Kauṇḍinyāsana - Sage Kaundinya's pose

  6. Ekā Pāda Galavāsana - One Legged Sage Galava Pose

  7. Gālavāsana - Sage Galava Pose

  8. Mayūrāsana- Peacock Pose

This course is appropriate for everyone. Balance is not a place you arrive at and then you are done. It is an ever-changing point in between that we need to make a continuous effort to stay in.
