The Art of an Arm Balance with Neil Casey

Sunday 13th April

12pm – 2pm

Join Neil “Bakasana” Casey for a 2 hour workshop introducing you to the art of the arm balance. From traditional poses like crow to the more funky variations that will help you to fly in your next class.

Whether you’re new to arm balancing or looking to deepen your practise this workshop will help you explore the engineering behind the balance.

The aim of this workshop is to give you the confidence and enjoyment to bring the arm balance into every practise!

A full practice incorporating movement, breath and meditation designed specifically to benefit runners and cyclists.

During the workshop, Sam will guide you through a yoga sequence to help you get into your body & mind; to build functional strength and mobility, whilst reminding you how intrinsic self-care, rest & recovery is when it comes being the best we can be – whether we run and bike because we love to be outside with friends, get a kick from a personal best, or want to position well in a race.

In any effective training program there will be a strong focus on strength and recovery.  As recreational runners & cyclists, without personal coaches, we may not be aware of the need to for sport specific strength and mobility training or of the risk of muscle overuse – without specific strengthening and effective recovery we will continue to stress our bodies increasing our chances of sustaining injuries and illnesses caused by muscle overuse and overtraining.  

Precision based flow yoga, breathwork and meditation provide an effective discipline to allow active people be the best they can be. 

During our time together we will:

• release the overused muscles, activate the underused muscles that come about from the repetitive nature of our sport
• learn methods to encourage recovery & rest in the body & mind
• learn tools to help us build strength & focus in our body and mind so we can get the best from each training session, ultimately helping us achieve our training goals

Come join me to find out more about how to use our wonderful practice that is yoga to get the best from this summer season on the roads & the trails.

This workshop is taught by ERYT500hrs (Jason Crandell); 200hr Yoga for Sports & BTF Triathlon Coach Sam Edwards.

Mastering the Headstand with Tanya Cruz

Saturday 31st May

2pm – 4pm

Mastering the headstand requires no great strength. It is largely a matter of conquering fear and believing you can do it.

The headstand (sirshasana in Sanskrit) is also called the king of asanas as the posture has so many benefits for your body and mind. By reversing the normal effects of gravity, it rests the heart, aids circulation, and relieves pressure on the lower back. Headstand practice helps to prevent back problems and improves memory and concentration. Inverting the body also deepens the breath, bringing a fresh supply of oxygen-rich blood to the brain.

“Change the mind, and you can change the body.”

– Swami Sivananda
