Arm Balance Exploration

Spread your wings and prepare for lift-off!! Join Ma Lochana in this 90 min fun and interactive workshop to explore the purpose, intention and foundations of arm balancing in the asana practice. Learn the kramas (steps), sound techniques and alignment to move from simple to challenging poses in a natural progressive way and how to incorproate arm balance play and transitions into your own asana practice.  You will learn:

• how to prepare

• how to practice safely

• how to choose modifications/variations

• how to transition in and out

Some of the asanas for exploration include: Vasisthasana (side plank pose), Kakasana (crow pose), Bakasana (crane), Parsva Bakasana (side crane pose), Ekapada Bakasana II (one leg crane pose), DwiPada Koundinyasana (two legs Sage Koundinya pose), Karandavasa (duck pose - easy variation), Titthibhasana (firefly pose), Bhujapidasana (shoulder pressing pose).
