Gateway into arm balances and inversions
Date: 4/14/13
Description
This workshop is the first of this series that is geared towards both beginners and immediate practitioners. We will explore the foundations of arm balancing, inversions, the technicalities of leaving the ground on our hands and the playful mindset needed to maintain the balance.
Goals
Beginners will learn how to approach these poses, intermediate practitioners will learn new entries and possibilities. Everyone can have a taste of "flying" but most importantly, receive the true benefits of arm balances and inversions.
