Why Arm Balancing?
While arm balances look impressive, they offer much more than just Instagram-worthy poses. These postures challenge both body and mind on multiple levels.
Developing Full Body Strength
In this Arm balancing course you will learn to control your physical body, making it stronger and more flexible. This physical control also contributes to a calmer and more flexible mind.
Building Courage and Confidence
Balancing your body weight on your hands takes courage. Regular practice builds confidence and deepens your connection with your body’s innate wisdom.
Enhancing Focus and Concentration
Successfully moving into and holding an arm balance asana demands focus and concentration. A distracted mind will hinder your ability to balance. As with all Yoga practice, presence is essential.
Join Our Arm Balancing Training
Our 50 hour arm balancing training is designed for intermediate to advanced Yoga practitioners seeking a new challenge for both body and mind.
We offer a place where you can find happiness through movement, pranayama, meditation and well-balanced nutrition. We are here to guide you on your spiritual journey, to connect with your Inner-Self and to find contentment and peace in life.
Balancing on your hands can be inspiring and intimidating at the same time. This is why we will go step by step preparing your body for the more advanced postures. After attending our 50 hours arm balancing training in Bali we want you to feel confident to practice and teach arm balancing asanas in your Yoga classes.
In our theory sessions we will revise Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga – the eight limbs of Yoga again, as they build the foundation of living a yogic life. Even though asana practice is important to keep our bodies strong and flexible, ultimately, it is intended to prepare our bodies to sit comfortably for long hours during mediation.
Sanskrit is the language of Yoga and all posture names have their origin in the world’s oldest language. In this Teacher training you will learn the Sanskrit breakdown of the arm balance asana names.
You will learn how to engage the bandhas to lift up and retain the prana inside your body to get stability of body and mind when practicing the arm balancing postures. Mudras help to control the prana, increase the flexibility and strength of our hands and balance the five elements. And in the end arm balancing is all about balancing body and mind.
