Welcome to our WTF series where Kathryn breaks down common yoga poses that make you think — wtf?
Visvamitrasana, named for the sage Visvamitra, is a beautiful arm balance combining side plank and compass pose. Practiced in the third series of ashtanga, this posture can often be swathed in intimidation, but trust me — once we strip it down to its basic components, you will find a variation of this posture that allows you to fly! This workshop style practice will explore a spectrum of variations, so leave your fears behind and come play!
This class will be demonstrated by the amazing Amanda Cunningham!
