arm balancing 101 series

Service Description

This inversion series is for regular yoga practitioners who do NOT have any neck injuries. Let’s have some fun upside-down! In this 4-week series, we'll leave our fears at the door and have fun learning the basics for inversions and arm balancing. Join Meli Rios in a course that's designed to build strength and stability over time. Each class is a workshop in its own right, providing the time to ease into arm balancing postures. Throughout the series, you will learn various inversions, starting with the basics and building toward more advanced postures. The wall will be our best friend, and we will cheer each other on! Understanding that this is a process and that we have to enjoy each part of it, you might be able to accomplish any posture, or maybe success looks like not to be afraid of going upside down. Each posture will have different modifications and props, so everyone will be able to do their best and see their own progress over these 4 weeks. Over each 90-min workshop, we will: —Do strong warm-ups to practice the postures and prepare the body —Build the strength to be able to do arm balancing and different inversions —Practice various arm balances: Bakasana, Parsva Bakasana, Vashistasana, Eka Pada Kundiyanasana, (and more!) —Practice various inversions: Sirsasana A, Sirsasana II, Pincha Mayurasana, Handstand, and their varients —Each workshop will wrap-up in a loooooong savasana with Chakra Meditation
