Side Crow & Koundinyasana: Building Confidence and Grace in Arm Balances and Transitions.

  • Yoga x Life Studios Yoga x Life, Portland Road Newcastle upon Tyne, England, NE2 1DW United Kingdom (map)

If Crow Pose is about getting off the ground, this session is about what happens next: moving with intention once you're up there.

Chris takes the same principles - precise form, real strength, and working directly with fear rather than around it - and applies them to Side Crow and Koundinyasana, along with the transitions that link arm balances together.

The technical side gets proper attention: the twist and shoulder placement that make Side Crow sustainable rather than a scramble, and the strength and sequencing that let Koundinyasana feel controlled rather than launched. But just as much focus goes on the quality of how you move - building strength that shows up as ease and grace rather than tension, so your arm balance practice stays genuinely enjoyable as it gets more demanding.

Confidence is built the same way it was in Workshop 1: honestly, and at a pace that respects where you're starting from. No prior arm balance experience is required - Chris will support you at whatever stage you're arriving at, whether that's your first time off the ground or your first attempt at a transition.
