Yoga Techniques and Fitness
Overview
In this lesson, we introduce Lolasana (Pendant Pose), Tolasana (Scale Pose), and Kukkutasana (Cock or Rooster Pose), arm balances that develop lightness, lift, and core engagement.
Objective
Understand how to lift your body off the ground using arm strength and core activation, developing concentration, stamina, and a sense of exhilaration.
What You'll Get
You'll walk away with practices that tone your shoulders, arms, wrists, and abdominals while teaching you what it means to create lift from the inside. These poses build upper back and deep back strength while improving balance and body awareness. For your own practice, they cultivate lightness and resilience, both physical and mental. If you teach, you'll learn progressions that help students work toward arm balancing safely, understanding how to engage the core and upper body to create elevation. It's about learning to lift yourself, literally and figuratively.
