Arm balances are empowering yoga postures that help us build strength, balance, confidence and concentration. They’re also fun and, let’s face it, they look pretty cool too.

New to arm balances? No problem! This workshop is suitable for someone who’s simply curious, or for those of you who are ready for a new challenge. It’s an opportunity to bring a little playfulness to your practice. Hopefully you’ll surprise yourself at what you can actually achieve in a couple of hours.

In this workshop we’ll be covering:

- How to protect your wrists during your yoga practice.
