On Your Hands! Arm Balance Workshop

Arm-balances and inversions…

Perhaps two of the scariest and funniest categories of poses in yoga! These poses are not about how “strong” we are, but rather how “connected” we are at a physical level – from our fingertips to our neck. They actually involve a fascinating complexity and combination of different parts of the body, working together literally to lift ourselves up.

This 3-hour workshop is an opportunity to spend more time on these challenging poses and get to the nitty gritty of how they work. Whether you love arm balances and inversions, fear them or are simply curious and willing to explore being on your hands, this workshop is for you!

We will learn and review some techniques and biomechanics around the hands, arms, hips and shoulders, and the interconnection between them. We will slowly and safely build up towards a playful, experimental, and invigorating practice geared towards fun arm balances and inversions, from simple to complex.

In a safe and fun way, we will explore and expand our edges and touch places we did not think were possible before! Be prepared to play and experience a boost in energy and confidence.

You are warmly invited, no matter how strong you think you are! The main requirement is your willingness to meet yourself, have fun… and get high!

Please be aware that inversions are contra-indicated for people with low blood pressure or vascular issues. If in doubt, consult with a specialist or write to Cedric: cedric@heartwiseyoga.com
