Event: Exploring Arm Balances and Inversions: An Asana Workshop with Valerie Schneiderman
Date: Sunday, April 27th from 10:00am-12:00pm Cost: $30 Register here This workshop is a guided and playful exploration of transferring weight off of the legs and feet through a variety of arm balancing and inverted asana. Many of the sequences of hatha, vinyasa and ashtanga yoga ask us to take weight off of the lower extremities and shift that weight to our upper body. By exploring the architecture of correctly aligned weight barring, supporting the structure of an asana through balance, placement and effort, we can find ease and a place of centered calm. There is so much we can learn from shifting our orientation in space…an exploration, a thoughtful play. Physically, arm balances increase strength and improve balance, while enhancing flexibility and coordination. Mentally, these same asana build mental focus and increase our self confidence. Students do not need to have previously mastered any arm balances or inversions to attend. We will work step by step in our exploration. A regular practice, including surya namaskara (sun salutations) is recommended for participation. |
