Sunday 15 November, 13:30 to 15:00 | The Yoga Nest, Kirkegata 32, Stavanger
Imagine lifting into Bakasana and feeling your feet float off the mat as if gravity had loosened its grip. Imagine holding Bhujapidasana with a steady gaze, then lowering your chin with control and rising up again. Picture that quiet moment of balance where your whole body is awake and your mind is completely still.
Arm balances are where strength, flexibility and focus meet. They teach you to trust your hands, find your centre and stay present when things wobble. And while they can look impossible from the outside, they’re built from simple pieces you can learn one at a time. In this arm balance workshop in Stavanger, following on from Saturday’s jump back and jump through workshop, you discover those pieces and start putting them together.
What you’ll explore
- Your foundation: Discover how to spread your hands, root through your fingers and engage your shoulders, so your wrists feel supported and your base feels solid.
- Finding your balance point: Learn how a small forward shift of weight, combined with active bandhas, turns effort into lightness.
- Ashtanga arm balances: Explore Bhujapidasana from the Primary Series and Bakasana A and B from the Intermediate Series, with clear stages and options for each.
- Playful extras: If you’re curious, try variations such as Eka Pada Koundinyasana and Astavakrasana, discovering how the same principles carry you into new shapes.
What to expect
- Step by step progressions, from preparation drills to full expressions.
- Wrist care and warm ups that keep your joints happy.
- Simple tricks for falling safely, so fear fades and confidence grows.
- A short home practice to keep building strength and balance after the workshop.
Who it’s for
Whether you’ve never lifted your feet off the floor or already enjoy flying in a few postures, you’re welcome here. Each pose comes with gentler options and props, so you can explore at your own pace. Join Saturday’s session too if you’d like the full weekend, or come for Sunday alone.
Your invitation
Your wings are already there. Come and discover them, laugh at the wobbles and leave with the trust to keep flying on your own mat.
