Do you want to learn how to get upside down, but not really sure where to start? Do you have a practice in some inversions but want a place outside of regular class to learn or review the fundamentals?
Then join Kim in this inviting introduction to inversions and arm balances!
Kim will provide tips on the flexibility and strength required to build toward 3 foundational arm balances you can add to your regular vinyasa practice. Follow your curiosity, find confidence, and enjoy a sense of play in a supportive learning environment in this workshop.
We will focus on these 3 arm balances:
Pincha Mayurasana, the forearm balance, a peak pose that defies gravity and stills the mind
Variation of Adho Mukha Vrksasana, or handstand, to “float" forward from down dog
Sirsasansa, classical headstand, to integrate your core for advanced inversions
All levels are welcome! You do not need a current inversion or arm balance practice to participate, and seasoned practitioners are also welcome.
