Arm balances aren't about showing off—they are about core engagement, mental focus, and trusting your body. Whether you're just starting to lift or looking to master complex transitions, we’ll build that foundation together, one wobble at a time.

Arm balances are my favorite. This flow shows a transition from Downward Dog into a challenging arm balance, ending in a moment of rest. It's a powerful practice that builds upper body and core strength.

This sequence demonstrates a powerful transition from Bakasana (Crow Pose) into a split-leg arm balance. Practicing with a partner helps maintain rhythm and motivation.

Here, we practice a dynamic arm balance vinyasa. Combining strength training and mobility work is essential to improve your ability to hold these demanding asanas with control.

This is a tutorial-style look at the Variation Side Crow Pose, also known as Fallen Angel. It's a fun, powerful asana that makes you feel like you have superpowers.

This clip breaks down the Koundinyasana, an advanced arm balance from the third series of Ashtanga yoga. It requires immense core strength and twisting of the torso.

Here is a closer look at Eka Pada Bakasana, or one-legged crane pose. This asana challenges your balance and strength by extending one leg back while holding the pose.

Galavasana, or Flying Pigeon Pose, is another intricate arm balance. It begins from a standing hip opener and transitions into a balance on the hands with one leg hooked over the arms.

Urdhva Kukutasana is an advanced lift where you balance the entire body in a lotus position on your hands. It's a testament to what dedicated practice can achieve.

This is Eka Pada Bakasana B, a variation that involves a deeper bind and lift. Each attempt builds not just physical strength but also mental willpower.

Koundinyasana A is a challenging variation that involves entering the arm balance from a headstand. This transition requires extreme control and core stability.

About Advanced Arm Balances & Strength

Forget lifting your feet off the ground on day one. Most people struggle here because they try to 'muscle' into the pose instead of engaging the bandhas and finding the right point of balance. In my sessions, we stop chasing the final shape and start breaking down the mechanics—using drills with blocks, wall work, and the patient process of training your wrists and shoulders to actually carry your weight.
