Workshop Weekend with Adell Bridges

Saturday, August 24th:

13:00 - 15:00 Handstands & the brain - Level 1 (for beginners)

Handstands are a full-body effort, and that very much includes the brain! Your muscles move because your brain tells them to, right? So let's bring the brain into the conversation to help us absolutely NAIL the basics of handstands so that you can get kicking to vertical faster, with more confidence, and -- yes! -- without the wall. This workshop will include a mixture of movement and lecture and give you plenty to take home with you and into your practice! 

16:00 - 18:00 Handstands & the brain - Level 2 (for more advanced practicioners)

You know you need strength, flexibility, and a good dose of confidence to do handstands and take them to the next level. And for these things we usually think about our muscles, maybe bones and fascia. But these are tertiary as far as your brain is concerned (meaning they come in 3rd place!). Your eyes and your inner ear take 1st and 2nd place, so in this workshop you'll learn how to use these higher-order systems to make your handstand practice stronger, more confident, and more fun! This workshop will include a mixture of movement and lecture and give you plenty to take home with you and into your practice! 

Sunday, August 25th:

13:00 - 15:00 Masterclass: "I Create My Reality" Inversions and Drishti Flow

Join for this 2-hour vinyasa flow where we will incorporate concepts of drishti, the visual system, and pratyahara into our movement. We will build up to play with inversions through fun transitions and some sweat-inducing drills that you love to hate. Expect to be challenged but only to the point that you choose to be. This is a class where the shapes don't matter and laughter is encouraged. 

16:00 - 18:00 Intro to creative sequencing 

Our asana practice can be so much more than the disciplined practice of showing up to do the same old things. In fact, research shows that novelty is beneficial in so many ways -- not least because it reminds you that your body is your guru! Even if you don't think of yourself as a creative type, in this workshop we'll explore the fundamentals of finding new ways to move that feel empowering in your body! This workshop will include a mixture of movement and lecture and give you plenty to take home with you and into your practice.
