Torres move through the water? Both of these amazing athletes
practice yoga postures. Become aware of yourself as you move …
align your body in space … and relax your mind. Appropriate for

How to Do the Yoga
‘Handstand’ with Confidence

‘Handstands’ (Adho
Mukha Vrksasana) are either exhilarating or slightly terrifying,
depending on how much you trust your own arms to support you.
There are methodical steps towards cultivating this exhilarating
yoga posture. For instance, how you position your arms while
doing standing postures matters to your general arm and shoulder
girdle strength. Another important factor is your abdominal
strength – do you have enough of it to control the movements of
your spine? Focusing on these two areas of the body can
eventually lead to more control when you turn up-side-down. Join
us in the quest for Adho Mukha Vrksasana. Level 1 – 3. Please do
not attend if you have a wrist, arm, or shoulder injury.
