Forearmstand or Pincha Mayurasana is a so-called “gateway drug” to balancing on your hands (using your shoulders). It’s only one step below balancing on you palms. Since you are still rather close to the ground, with the support of the whole forearms - creating a nice foundation - it could be closer to achieve than you might think so! Using some tricks and help from the teacher, you’ll get to experience how it feels to fall from this position with control.
At the same time you’ll get the tools, that you can incorporate into your own practice, at the studio or at home, to get stronger and eventually overcome the fear of balancing!
Inversion Workshop Series
This series of workshops will introduce you to the basics of inverting your body into a headstand, forearmstand and handstand. Additionally, the handstand workshop will happen twice, at the beginning of May and beginning of August, to check on you progress, answer the questions and get new tools and techniques to keep you motivated to practice further. Because inversions are a journey!
It's all about practice: Similar to yoga practice itself, inversions can become almost addictive, once you have one, you want to collect them all. Or maybe you like to just give a it a go once, that’s ok as well! Inversions are inspiring, challenging (for some!), and sometimes it requires a shift and proper technique, in order to overcome the fear of them.
Who is this workshop for? If you are a passionate beginner, that likes to start building the proprioception and techniques for inverting already; or been practicing for some time now, but didn’t get into the inverted positions yet; these workshops are perfect for you. We will learn the basics of balancing, tools in how to get stronger, to find control and even how to fail or fall from a position in a safe way.
