Most Arm Balances place the legs on the arms, shoulders and/or triceps. There are also arm
balances where the entire body is inverted (suspended above the head) and all the weight is
balanced on the arms or hands. They look advanced and sometimes intimidating from the
outside. But when you leave your ego off the mat and approach Arm Balances with humility,
they can become a magical and playful experience. We will breakdown and explain the
important aspects of these Foundational postures as they pertain to the Arm Balances we cover.
You will also learn drills to strengthen the areas of the body needed for these postures.
