Jennifer and Chris Rurka- Inversions & Arm Balances

September 17, 2011

The Inversions & Arm Balances class was the very first yoga workshop I have ever attended. I was really excited that I had the opportunity to learn different poses then the poses you normally get to work with in a regular yoga class. I am at point in my practice where I like the challenge of trying new harder poses and I found the inversions that we learnt and the Arm balances exhilarating. Most of the poses I was not able to do during the workshop , but every day after that I found myself wanting to practice where ever I could until I could successfully do these postures. The scorpion pose was the most challenging posture for me but a little bit of patients and being able to focus and breath through the movements I was finally able to do it!!! YAY! some of the other great postures we learnt were the basic headstand (which was much harder than I would have ever anticipated ) The crane pose, Astavakrasana pose , and the Pincha Mayurasana (feathered peacock pose). Overall I was very happy with this class and my new learnt yoga poses, and I am excited for the any other yoga workshop that comes my way allowing me to further and intensify my practice .



Namaste.
