Advanced Asana Training: Strength, Balance & Flexibility

I break down Brahmacharyasana, or Celibate's Pose, into manageable steps. Using props like bricks, we build the necessary core and arm strength progressively, making this challenging arm balance achievable.

This is the one-legged variation of Astavakrasana, or Eight-Angle Pose. I demonstrate how to build the pose from a seated position, using core engagement and arm strength to lift and hold.

Our balancing classes focus on building core strength and stability. Here, students use wooden blocks to practice L-sits and leg extensions, developing the power needed for advanced arm balances.

Headstands, or Sirsasana, are a cornerstone of an advanced practice. In our studio, we guide students of all levels to safely work on their inversions, building confidence and strength.

Partner work can make advanced poses like this arm balance feel simple and fun. With trust and mutual support, students can explore challenging asanas they might not attempt alone.

We use partner adjustments to help students safely deepen their middle splits. This hands-on approach ensures proper alignment and allows for a greater range of motion.

This is Purna Shalabhasana, the full locust pose, assisted with a chair. Using props allows students to safely explore deep backbends, building spinal flexibility and strength step by step.

Sirsasana, or headstand, is known for its ability to transform energy. Here, I practice by the water, demonstrating the focus and balance required to hold this king of asanas.

I guide a student through the steps of Astavakrasana, or Eight-Angle Pose. We use blocks to provide support, making it easier to lift the hips and extend into the final posture.
