Astavakrasana (Eight Angle Pose) & Eka Hasta Bhujasana (Leg Over Shoulder Pose)

What You'll Get

You'll learn to balance on your hands with one leg hooked over your arm, a practice that demands and builds wrist, arm, shoulder, and core strength while stretching your glutes, hips, hamstrings, and obliques. The poses teach your body to cooperate as you find delicate balance between tipping forward and staying aloft. For your own practice, they develop concentration and confidence. If you teach or work with clients, you'll gain detailed progressions and preparatory poses that help people build the necessary mobility and strength before attempting these challenging balances. It's about understanding how simple actions combine into complex shapes.
