$25 Suggested Donation
This workshop will explore learning to build the strength and skills to attempt various arm balances and inversions. This is open to ALL levels whether or not you have ever balanced on your hands! It will be a time to explore the body and to have fun and to try new things all together. Nicole Roerick will be leading the workshop and will go over the fundamentals and guide everyone through the practice. We will take time to talk through things but we will warm up properly before we get into the balancing. We will work with ways of stabilizing the core and the pelvic floor area and connect with Mula Bandha and Uddiyana Bandha to discover their amazing benefits. We will work towards floating and flying and overcoming our fears. Nothing is impossible!
