Making the impossible possible. Have you ever watched someone effortlessly float into a handstand and wondered whether you could ever get close to doing that? Well, now you can! Working towards postures that are seemingly impossible is about understanding the mechanics of the body - how the muscles in the body integrate, the use of the breath, and alignment. In this two-hour workshop, Tiggy will uncover the mysteries of the handstand so that you can work progressively towards inverting with comfort.
On a spiritual level, postures such as the handstand, which bring about a sense of fear also raise our awareness to our own mortality and vulnerability. What if I fall? What if I hurt myself? What happens if I fail? The truth is that the fall is never quite as bad as we perceive it to be. In overcoming the fear there is a sense of exhilaration, new found strength both externally and internally, and most of all, liberation. Join Tiggy on Saturday February 28 for a workshop that will be both fun and challenging. And if you're reading this and wondering whether you're capable enough to take this workshop, YOU ARE! The price of the workshop is USD30. The workshop will take place at Khaiphaen Restaurant http://www.tree-alliance.org/our-restaurants/khaiphaen.asp?mm=or&sm=kp |
