A yoga workshop is basically a longer period of time to work towards particular postures or focus on specific areas eg hips, spine etc. Today 10 awesome people joined me for an arm balance & headstand workshop.
No dates as yet but I was thinking of doing a 4 week progressive block (prob a Sunday morning) to focus on Crow or headstands. If this is something that you’re interested in, I’ll try do a poll or just comment what you’d prefer - Crow 🐦⬛ or headstand 🤸🏻♀️
More about today 😀
The super lovely, encouraging & brave people booked up on their own, not knowing who else would be there. They stepped out their comfort zone & came in for an arm balance & headstand workshop - crow, eight angled limb, forearm & tripod headstand. Each person did amazing & both feet were lifted 🚀 So grateful for them choosing to spend their Sunday morning learning a new hard thing.
We used loads of blocks, bolsters, a yoga wheel, the wall & a beanbag to help us get flight. The props don’t make things easier but when you’re shown how to use them, they really help you create more space in your body & help you progress & build confidence.

None of these came easily to me. I help to teach them using knowledge gained over years of falls & mistakes. Never any pressure, only encouragement for these challenging postures & I 100% understand your frustration & desire to feel confident in them!
1️⃣Crow (my nemesis posture) finally “got it” in 2021 (during Covid when it became a goal to help keep me going). I then stopped doing it 🤷🏻♀️ after a while, I lost all confidence in it (I’m talking 3 or 4 years) until Thursday of this week & Crow took flight again 🙌🏼
2️⃣When I was happy doing it on concrete. Today my mean inner voice says “I should be able to still do this” was pushed to the side & back building confidence with a bolster.
3️⃣4️⃣More control felt in forearm & tripod headstand by lifting up rather than kicking up. There are progressions that we work on before doing it with a straight leg.
A huge thanks to everyone who came with local self employed folks tagged ⬇️
