Rogue Vinyasa Yoga: Arm Balances

April 13, 2010

Join Bari and David for Rogue Vinyasa Yoga, an arm balance workshop, Saturday, April 24th, 9:15-11:00am. The workshop is offered by donation.

David Morgan will lead a strong vinyasa sequence that focuses on arm balances such as crane, twisted crane, one-legged crane, side crow, koundinyasana 1, koundinyasana 2, ekapadagalavasana, peacock, upward peacock, cock, upward cock, and astavacrasana (it’s unlikely we’ll get to all of these, so send in your requests!). Bari Kyle will provide loving, hands-on and energetic assists.

The class will conclude with 30 minutes of traditional hatha yoga pranayama, meditation, and relaxation.

Arm balances are a great way to build core and upper body strength, but the main benefits are the boosts to your confidence, concentration, and balance.
Arm balances are also a great deal of fun. This workshop will emphasize experimentation rather than perfectionism. Come prepared to have a good time!

David Morgan is a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher who has led more than 1,000 yoga workshops, classes and retreats. His teaching is characterized by adaptive, creative flows tailored to his students’ needs and abilities. David weaves yoga influences from Ashtanga Vinyasa, Satyananda, Sivananda, and OSHO Dynamic Kundalini into the Kripalu Yoga practice of nonjudgmental self-awareness.

Bari Kyle attended teacher training in Zuda Yoga, a hot vinyasa style of yoga that emphasizes one-on-one connection to students in poses. Bari is a karma yogini who teaches and assists just for the love of it. And you will love her assists!

This 1-hour, 45-minute workshop is offered by donation. The suggested donation is $15-$25, but there are no minimum or maximum amounts.

This workshop is suitable for athletic intermediate-to-advanced beginners and those with more experience.

Anyone of any shape, size, or age can do yoga, and this workshop is perfect for beginners as well as people who haven’t exercised in a good while. The yoga practice will be very gentle, and can be modified for any body.
