We often think that arm balances are all about arms because of the name. They're not! There's so much more going on, usually 'full body' work; core, legs, spine, buttocks, etc. We also have to get our mind around obstacles too – through understanding obstacles we can let go of them, the unknown becomes known, and we can feel a little more freedom in practicing!Taking 3 arm balances, we'll break-down what they look like, how they feel, and re-build them to make them feel- and work better. The workshop will cover – Crow pose (Bakasana), Elephant Trunk pose (Eka Hasta Bhujasana) and Eight Angle pose (Astavakrasana). These are three very different arm balances, with very different but also similar aspects to learn about.
Looking at sprinklings of anatomy and alignment theories and basic physics, we can start to see how to use our bodies, our weight, and our strength (yes - you are strong!) to grow our understanding of how these (sometimes overwhelming) poses actually function.
We'll practice them, flow with them, and make sense of them, shifting our perspectives from confused to composed.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Anyone who has a regular yoga practice and understanding of asana movements can join this session, whether you incorporate arm balances into your practice or not. It's all about shifting perspectives! Whatever your ability / flexibility / variation in your regular practice is, we'll look at various types of alternatives and modifications too, which we all need to use now and then, when our superpowers are low because of illness or injury.
THE TEACHER:
Your teacher, Miz, has loved arm balances throughout her yoga journey. She navigates a spine condition and the issues that brings to her physical ability, which means she's investigated aspects of her practice a little more to find 'how to', as well as modifications and alternatives to suit. This subsequently comes into her teaching, making adventurous but accessible sessions.
