First Steps into Arm Balances
with Maria
Curious about lifting your feet off the ground? Let’s explore it together.
Arm balances often look impressive — and maybe a little intimidating.
But they’re not just for “advanced” yogis.
First Steps into Arm Balances is a playful and supportive workshop for anyone who feels curious about exploring that moment where your feet float. Even if it feels exciting. Even if it feels scary.
This is a space to experiment, laugh, wobble, and discover what you’re capable of — without pressure.
Is this workshop for you?
This workshop is perfect if you:
Have always wanted to try arm balances but didn’t know where to start
Already know a few, but want to feel more stable and confident
Feel strong in your practice but hesitate when it’s time to lift off
Want to understand the technique instead of just “throwing yourself into it”
No experience is needed.
Just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to try.
What we’ll do
This isn’t about forcing your body into shapes. It’s about understanding how arm balances actually work.
During the workshop, we will:
Break down the basics
Alignment, weight distribution, core engagement, and where your gaze goes — the small details that make a big difference.
Build strength the smart way
A thoughtful warm-up that prepares your wrists, shoulders and core so your body feels ready and supported.
Explore accessible variations
Step-by-step progressions and beginner-friendly versions so you can practise safely at your own level.
Practise in a safe and encouraging environment
You’ll have space to experiment without judgement — and yes, wobbling is part of the process.
What you’ll gain
More confidence in your upper body strength
A better understanding of technique
Tools you can take into your regular practice
A sense of playfulness and courage
Because arm balances aren’t about being fearless.
They’re about learning to trust your body — one small lift at a time.
