You will be lead to great physical posture and confidence to embrace to world as your own. The whole art of handstands provides perfect fitness. In the back bending, or opening the front of the body workshops you shall find great happiness, ease and a transforming consciousness. Backbends are magical. Backbends are transforming and handstands are about creating the life you love.
The morning sessions will be general yoga classes, a great start to your day. In the afternoon, you shall focus on handstands, backbends and Acro. In the handstand workshops, everyone shall find a place to be comfortable in some handstand variation and everyone shall find that they expand their abilities.
Beginners will be encouraged to find their first handstand, and all will experience the various ways to enter a handstand from kicking to the various pressing up ways (such as straddling, tucking up or pressing up), to finding movement within a handstand to learning the steps to one arm handstand.
You shall experience optimum handstand alignment, with partners and solo. You shall warm up the body, strengthen the abs and back muscles, open the shoulders and experience alignment in plank and in many handstand variations.
Adriana
Adriana’a Ashtanga and Rocket sessions topped with some insertions on backbends, hands-on adjustment and yin.
Ashtanga and Rocket are energising, fun and self-empowering;
Backbends are character building through opening and exposing ourselves – a major psychological threshold;
Yin facilitates regaining our energy flow, stamina and skyrockets our flexibility in the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues.
We are delighted to have put together this format for the first time
