Defy Gravity

Day 1

This class will guide intermediate or advanced beginner students toward Bakasana. Bakasana, or crow or crane pose, gives a fun challenge of strength and balance and develops students in the direction of more advanced arm-balancing postures. Students with wrist issues are encouraged to avoid this class.

Day 2

Activate your core & connect with your inner fire as you adventure with breath & asana towards Tittibasana or Firefly pose arm balance.

Day 3

In this intermediate Bhakti flow, we prepare the mind, body, and heart with devotion as we flow through with our intention's power. We will practice playing on the hands and arms with an open mind and open spirit toward Eka Pada Galavasana. Take flight and soar!

Day 4

In this class, we will build towards Titthibasana (Firefly pose) - an arm balance that requires open shoulders, hips, and hamstrings as well as an integrated and robust core.

Day 5

An intermediate class that will challenge you moving towards other arm balance postures in the Eka Pada Koundinyasana family. If you are more than comfortable with basic arm balances or know how to flow swiftly into Eka Pada Koundinyasana in your practice, this class is for you.

Day 6

Eka Pada Bakasana 1 is a vigorous posture that challenges balancing skill and raw strength. This class will explore actions present in the pose in an effort to gain expertise, and will offer an attempt at the full pose. Students who are not yet adept at Bakasana should focus on mastering the basic posture before leveling up to this variation.

Day 7

This advanced masterclass is for yogis wanting to level up their yoga confidence with arm balance. You will have plenty of opportunities to explore the most common arm balance postures as you prepare yourself mentally and physically while learning the mechanics and engagement of the shoulders, core, and legs to your arm balance postures.
