Discover the transformative power of the push in your yoga practice with Darr. From rooting down in samastithi to lifting into pincha (forearm stand), variations of sirsasana (headstands), and viparita vrksasana (handstand), this workshop will help you align, strengthen, and create space in every movement.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

1. Upper Body Alignment: Engage your entire upper body and learn to push correctly to build more strength, protect your joints, and create openness.

2. Lower Body Engagement: Push with the lower body to create stability, strength, flexibility, and connection in standing and seated poses.

3. Energy Flow: Balance apana and prana vayus to awaken your bandhas and find lightness in your practice.

4. Controlled Movements & Inversions: Align your pelvis and shoulders for smooth, controlled movements that bring stability and ease to inversions and transitions.

This workshop is accessible to all levels, whether you're building a solid foundation with simple transitions or working toward floating effortlessly.
