Release the mental checklist of "elbow here, gaze there, hold breath, hope for the best." and instead explore arm balances through the principles of embodied movement.

This workshop is an invitation to find arm balances from the inside out; through rebound, gravity, breath, containment and felt sense rather than force, fear or perfectionism.

We'll spend time slowing down and listening: noticing where gravity actually wants to take us, how breath can lift and stabilize, how rebound off the floor can spark lightness instead of strain. Poses like crow, side crow, and koundinyasina become less about achieving a shape and more about discovering the conditions that let the shape arise on its own.

Expect play, falling (on purpose, and safely), flowing movement, unpicking and relearning and a lot of curiosity. This isn't about muscling your way up or through and arriving at the poses exhausted, it's about tuning in closely enough that the balance finds you, allowing shape and form to emerge, disappear and re-appear.

We'll explore the Bakasana family of poses; Crow, Side Crow and Eka Pada Koundinayasana in both a workshopping environment and within flow. These are all foundational poses that 'unlock' a range of transitions in flow once we feel confident in them. Like anything in postural yoga - its a practice of returning time and again so don’t expect miracles but rather know that this stuff takes time and commitment, then one it juts can just magically ‘show up!”

We'll end our afternoon together melting tension in the hot and cold of the sauna. Expect a space to chit chat and swap notes with likeminded folks or maybe find moments of space and meditative quiet within the cosy environment of the sauna.

Suitable for practitioners with an established practice who are curious about arm balances, whether you're just starting to explore them or looking to deepen an existing relationship with these poses..
