Workshop

Strength and Stability Series with Jen Kentrup

Pacific Place – Admiralty

11-12 Oct 2024

ABOUT

In this workshop, we will explore how cultivating clarity in the body is directly related to clarity of the mind. We will look at ways to work smarter, not harder, in order to develop strength, steadiness, and balance throughout the body and mind.

 

We will also dive into the mechanics of headstands and related poses, focusing on finding equilibrium, balance, and steadiness. Additionally, we will explore safe and pain-free backbending, taking a holistic approach that considers anatomy, physiology, breath, and psychology. This will help unlock greater access and depth in your practice.

 

Furthermore, we will look at how to find a whole-body connection when working on the foundation, basic form, and actions of arm balances. We will practice level 1 and some level 2 arm balances, including Bakasana, Parsva Bakasana, Handstand, Pinchamyurasana, and others.

 

Throughout the workshop, we will emphasize the importance of clarity of mind in allowing the body to soften and surrender, leading to increased range of motion, groundedness, and a greater sense of spaciousness in both the body and mind..
