Arm Balances and Inversion with John Salisbury
Saturday March 6th
3:00-5:00
30.00
Uplift your yoga practice by working with John Salisbury, as we uncover the foundations necessary for inversion and arm-balance confidence. Most people have a narrow understanding of how
the body works upside down and in arm-balancing postures. We will break down the essence of specific poses, such as rotations of the limbs, how flexibility plays into these postures, and the
nature of the bandhas (inner muscle contractions that help to stabilize energy).
This class will use sun salutation variations and flow to heat the body and prepare it for inversion work, while offering instruction on how to ground your poses through flexion and uplift with
breath. Your breath is the fuel for flying in arm-balances. We will workshop inversions and arm-balances for beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners from a technical standpoint and
offer modified postures as building blocks. One year of practice is helpful, but all are welcome!
Back Bends and Hip Openers with Alicia Beale ~ Due to the success of the first workshop we are doing it again!
