The issues that keep us from arm balancing are NOT what they think...
๐ฎ The main issue I hear from my students are that they think:
โข Their arms are too weak ๐ช
โข Their wrists are too thin ๐
โข Their hips are too heavy ๐
While these things make SOME difference, they are NOT what is stopping them from balancing. ๐ซ
The truth is that it has very little to do with strength or body weight, and much more to do with that Iโm about to tell you. ๐
Whatโs actually standing in your way is:
๐ You don't have enough information about exactly HOW to align your joints so that you arenโt fighting gravity, but working WITH it. ๐ ๐
The FEAR of leaning too far, falling and hurting yourself keeps you from shifting your weight forward enough to catch balance (which, when you learn how to engage your body properly, becomes a non-issue!) ๐ฅ ๐
Lack of hand engagement! When youโre standing on your hands, your hands become like your feet. There are very specific ways to engage your hands that make it not at all about wrist strength, but instead, building a solid foundation in your fingers that makes them balance you just like your toes do when you walk. ๐ค
The fact is that it is really NOT about strength! ๐ซ
You are strong enough RIGHT NOW, and when you learn how to stack your bones, conquer the fear of falling and use your hands effectively, youโll see that strength is secondary. ๐ฅ
It doesnโt have to take YEARS to learn how to move your body in this way - you can do it in weeks or months. ๐๏ธ
The only thing missing for most of us is great instruction and FEEDBACK to help you every step of the way. There is no such thing as โtoo oldโ or โtoo out of shape.โ If you have a willingness to show up and do the work, itโs ALL possible much faster than you think.
Arm balancing is an incredible journey of building self-confidence, self-trust and changing the stories in your mind about what is and isnโt possible for your life - not just on your mat, but everywhere else. ๐
