Arm balances can be some of the most empowering and liberating asanas in yoga. They not only
motivate you to build strength and improve flexibility and mobility, they also grow your confidence
and enable you to take your practice to the next level. Through the exploration of arm balances, we
get to discover our intrinsic power and innate playfulness, courage, fearlessness and agility.
This Sweatbox Yoga workshop will begin with an energetic flow to prepare the body, emphasizing on
building strength in your arms, shoulders, wrist and core and finding space and mobility in your hips
and shoulders that are essential for the arm balance postures that we will be exploring.
We will then work on individual arm balances, with a step-by-step guide to get into the postures,
and tips and tricks with props to help you take flight. You will learn how to distribute your weight
and how to create lightness and lift in your practice.
