SUMMARY:Power and Poise: Inversions and Arm Balances
DESCRIPTION:Power and Poise: Inversions and Arm Balances | With Monica Opderbeck and Justin Chickles \nInversions and arm balances represent two of the most challenging categories of yoga asana. They can often feel intimidating or inaccessible\, even though they look really\, really fun! Join two of Folk Yoga’s exceptional teachers\, Monica Opderbeck and Justin Chickles\, for a deep dive into the challenges\, the joys\, and the knowledge needed to skillfully and safely approach these two families of poses. \nOver two\, two-hour weekends\, you’ll explore a variety of ways to develop your inverting and balancing skills. You’ll receive detailed\, concrete\, and accessible instruction on how to begin approaching or refine your skills across an array of poses. There will be an emphasis on demonstrating how to skillfully approach these poses with varying levels of strength\, mobility\, body awareness\, breath\, alignment\, and dimension. \nDuring this training\, you will: \n\nLearn important strength and flexibility-building exercises and asana that effectively prepare you for inversions and arm balances.\nDevelop awareness of the biomechanical and physical forces that are fundamental to successful practicing these two asana families.\nLearn how to use breath and bandhas to lift\, jump\, move\, and ground your body in complex movements.\nCome to understand your unique body and how to leverage and/or adapt poses for success in inverting and balancing.\nUse supportive props and the wall as tools to help you begin building body awareness and your physical sense of your body in space.\nThis work is appropriate for experienced vinyasa or hatha yoga students who are confident in at least chaturanga dandasana (four-limbed staff pose)\, kakasana/bakasana (crane/crow pose)\, and basic forward fold movements.\n\nThis event will be held in-person at the NOPA studio. Folk members and alumni receive 25% off the full price. \nSchedule:\n– Arm Balance Workshop – Saturday\, November 14 | 2:00PM – 4:00PM\, In-Person\, Folk NOPA\, Air Studio\n– Inversion Workshop – Saturday\, November 21 | 2:00PM – 4:00PM\, In-Person\, Folk NOPA\, Air Studio \nPrice:\n– Arm Balance Workshop $65.00\n– Inversion Workshop $65.00\n– Arm Balance & Inversion Workshop $120
