In this intro to arm balances class, we will do a vinyasa flow with different arm balances intertwined.

Arm Balances include but are not limited to crow, side crow, Eka Pada Koudinyasana 1 and 2, and Eight-Angle Pose (Astavakrasana).

There will be prep and several modifications for each asana. All levels welcome. Please remember the first part of the pose is trying the pose, and more importantly, falling out of the pose is part of the pose. :)
