Achieving balance & strength in life can be challenging at times. Our work, family, friendships, and everything else can pull us in so many directions that staying grounded and stable in body & mind is as difficult as it is valuable.
In yoga, we recognize that working with challenging postures, especially arm balances & inversions, can not only help build physical strength but also inner strength! By exploring advanced arm balances & inversions on the mat — we can be better equipped to handle life off the mat - bringing poise and stability into our everyday lives.
After all, we all fall in life, but having the courage, strength, and determination to get back up is the key!
Luckily, in this Advanced Yoga Workshop, we can work on challenging postures with a little focus...and a lot of fun!
