Fly Into Fall
Arm Balancing Workshop
with Cat McCarthy
Saturday Sept 27
Time: 10am-1pm
Fly into the Fall on the wings of your own courage. This arm balance workshop will explore that inner trust which grounds us enough to afford the levity of flight, cultivating equipoise in body, mind, and spirit. To celebrating the full spectrum of life, it takes balance to skillfully segue from season to season and from pose to pose. And more mindful we are in those transitions with skillful alignment, the deeper the experience on and off the mat.
In this 3-hour workshop, we will focus on a variety of arm balances, to practice rooting our hands like another pair of feet and encourage the body to rise like a buoyant bird or a soaring firefly. Bring a playful attitude and zest for adventure in order to ride the currents of the breath and help your heart take flight. Open to all levels, but get ready for take off!
