WORKSHOP: IYENGAR YOGA: ARM BALANCES
Beyond Strength — Into Stability, Precision & Ease
Stefano Bendandi is a dedicated Iyengar Yoga teacher with more than 25 years of experience in the practice and study of yoga. His teaching combines technical precision with a warm, accessible approach that supports practitioners of all levels in developing confidence, awareness, and depth in their practice.
Join us for an insightful and practical workshop exploring arm balances through the lens of Iyengar Yoga—a method renowned for its precision, intelligent sequencing, and emphasis on cultivating awareness through alignment. More than simply balancing on the hands, arm balances become a means to develop steadiness, concentration, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how the body works as an integrated whole.
Together, we’ll create a focused and attentive space to unpack what arm balances really require, why they can be transformative for practitioners of all levels, and how the principles of Iyengar Yoga make these postures more accessible, sustainable, and rewarding. Rooted in the Iyengar tradition, this 1.5-hour session blends theory, lived experience, and practical guidance.
This workshop invites you to explore:
• What arm balances truly are—and how they rely on alignment, leverage, and awareness rather than strength alone
• The fundamental principles of the Iyengar Yoga method and how they support a safe, intelligent practice
• Why precision and stability are essential foundations for developing confidence in balancing postures
• The skillful use of props and progressive techniques to make arm balances more accessible
• Common obstacles in arm balance practice and practical ways to overcome them
• How arm balances cultivate focus, courage, and deeper body-mind integration
No previous arm balance experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
You’ll leave with greater clarity, embodied understanding, and practical tools to approach arm balances with confidence, precision, and ease—whether you are discovering them for the first time or refining an established practice.
