Do you have a regular yoga practice that does not include arm balances, but are looking for the tools needed to build towards these types of postures?

Or do you have experience with arm balancing postures, but are looking to refine and advance the poses to work towards more challenging variations?

This workshop is perfect for you! We'll focus on a selection of arm balances listed below, looking at how we can build the strength and flexibility to nail these asanas. We'll also look at how we can add them into a yoga flow so that you can experiment in your own home practice.

Poses that we will cover include:

Crow pose (Bakasana)
Side Crow Pose (Parsva Bakasana)
Shoulder Pressing Pose (Bhujapidasana)
Eight Angle Pose (Astavakranasana)
Elephant's Trunk Pose (Eka Hasta Bhujasana)

2pm-2.45pm - Introduction and warmup flow
2.45pm-3.15pm - A 'how to' of each arm balance, including how props can be used to assist you in building up to the posture (lots of playtime!)
3.15pm-3.45pm - Short arm balance flow to give you a feel for how you can incorporate arm balances into your home practice
3.45pm-4pm - Questions, cool down and savasana.

The cost for the workshop is £30. It will be hosted at Salt Water Studios in Worthing. If you'd like to book a place, email monayogauk@gmail.com and payment details will follow. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. I hope to see you there!
