Sunday 22 November, 13:30 to 15:00 | The Yoga Nest, Kirkegata 32, Stavanger
Picture yourself balancing on your forearms in Pincha Mayurasana, legs light above you, breath slow and even. Imagine lowering into Karandavasana with control, or holding Mayurasana and feeling your whole body switch on. These are the moments where strength stops feeling like effort and starts feeling like freedom.
The Intermediate Series holds some of the most empowering postures in Ashtanga. They ask for strength, and they give strength back. This afternoon you put your strength to a playful test and discover how to build it intelligently, so inversions feel safe, stable and within reach. No experience with the Intermediate Series is expected. Everything you learn fits right into the practice you have today. This strength and inversion workshop in Stavanger rounds off the weekend after Saturday’s backbend workshop, and every drill fits naturally into your Ashtanga yoga practice.
What you’ll explore
- The roots of strength: Discover how your hands, shoulders, core and bandhas connect into one supportive chain, so you lift from your centre rather than muscling through your arms.
- Pincha Mayurasana: Build your forearm balance step by step, from shoulder alignment and wall drills to finding your balance point in the middle of the room.
- Karandavasana and Mayurasana: Explore the drills and progressions that turn these challenging postures into achievable goals.
- Inversion confidence: Play with entries, exits and safe ways to come down, so fear softens and curiosity takes over.
What to expect
- Practical drills you can repeat at home to build strength week by week.
- Clear guidance on shoulder and wrist care, so your body stays happy as you grow stronger.
- Partner work and wall support, giving you a safe place to experiment.
- A light, encouraging atmosphere where trying matters more than succeeding.
Who it’s for
This workshop is open to everyone with a regular asana practice. If you’re curious about inversions, want to feel stronger in your vinyasas, or are already working with the Intermediate Series, you’ll find something here for you. Each drill comes with options, so you choose the level that feels right today.
Your invitation
