Exploring Handstands
with Karen Macklin & Ariel Mihic
Standing on your hands offers physical, energetic, and emotional benefits for everyone. It strengthens our wrists and fingers, opens our shoulders, helps us to be more playful, and offers us a new perspective from which to view the world. Handstands also teach us how to be more fearless and free—on and off the mat.
This popular handstand workshop-taught by Karen Macklin and Ariel Mihic-will help new handstanders to build the strength and courage needed to go upside down with stability and ease, and will offer refinements and new entries into the pose for more experienced handstanders. The workshop will include an energetic flow, partner work, strength-training exercises, and meditation. Bring your willingness and a sense of humor!
Prerequisites: Ease and stability in plank and downward facing dog (you can hold for one minute each).
This course provides 3 Elective Contact Hours for YGSF500 and/or 3 Yoga Alliance® CEUs
