Air Element: Astavakrasana Flow
Build lightness, balance, and confidence as you work toward Astavakrasana (Eight-Angle Pose) in this energizing Power Asanas practice inspired by the Air element.
This class focuses on developing the mobility, strength, and body awareness needed for one of yoga’s most playful arm balances. You’ll prepare the wrists, shoulders, core, hips, and hamstrings through a progressive sequence designed to make the peak pose feel more accessible, whether you’re attempting the full expression or exploring the foundations.
Along the way, you’ll move through dynamic standing flows, hip-opening lizard variations, spinal twists, side plank progressions, and targeted core work before breaking down Astavakrasana step by step. Modifications with yoga blocks are offered throughout, making this class suitable for practitioners who are building confidence with arm balances as well as those looking to refine their technique.
The practice finishes with gentle backbends, restorative stretches, and a guided relaxation to help you integrate the work you’ve done and reconnect with the spacious, expansive qualities of the Air element.
