Fundamentals of Arm Balancing
$25 each session or $40 for both

When we love someone, we hug them tight we share a meaningful touch and moment of gratitude. It’s a special squeeze of trust. It is intimate and a sharing of love. On the mat, it starts from within..

In this two part workshop, learn how to hug yourself — literally! Discover how the principles of “hugging” the midline in basic postures can help you embody the not so basic postures — arm balances. Teach your body to trust itself and it will heal itself.
