This practice explores arm balances through a combination of technique, awareness, and confidence-building. If these postures feel more like a mental challenge than a physical one, this session offers a supportive space to approach them differently.

You will work with key foundations such as hand placement, shoulder stability, and weight transfer, using accessible progressions to build understanding and control. Alongside the physical aspects, the practice also addresses the role of focus, trust, and perception when working with balance.

Through guided exploration, you will develop a clearer sense of how to feel stable, supported, and gradually more at ease in arm balance work.

In this practice you will explore:
• Foundational mechanics for arm balances (hands, shoulders, weight transfer)
• Progressive pathways into poses such as Crow and Crane
• The relationship between focus, confidence, and balance
• Building a sense of safety and trust while being inverted

For who:
• Anyone curious about arm balances
• Movers wanting to build confidence upside down
• Those who feel limited by fear or hesitation in inversions
