Asana Lab - Arm Balances with Chelsea Brown
Sunday, June 22nd from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Defying Gravity: Arm Balances
Arm balances strengthen the physical core of the body, activate the inner digestive fire of “agni,” and help to promote Tapas- will, determination, and confidence! While these set of postures appear to be heavy on arm strength, it is necessary to deeply connect with the core, create space in the chest, and call upon the wisdom of the bandhas to truly achieve balance.
Learn the fundamental arm balance postures: Crow (bakasana), Side Crow (parsva bakasana), and Shoulder-Pressing Pose (bhujapidasana) and play with additional variations and fun challenge postures.
Join advanced teacher trainer, Chelsea Brown, for Asana Lab, a special 90 minute class intended to break down advanced asana and demystify the physical and energetic techniques necessary to work into them safely. You will be led through discussion on the anatomy and correct alignment of the featured postures, as well as the relevant subtle bodies (chakras, bandhas, etc), intended energetic effects, and the mythology behind the asana. Expect to be led through a series of drills designed to specifically target growth into the featured postures. Props will be heavily utilized to facilitate deeper understanding of each posture and to allow ease of access for each body.
At least one year of consistent asana practice is recommended to reap the full benefits of this class. Please bring a notebook and writing utensil. CEUs are available for Registered Yoga Teachers.
