by

 Arm balancing can be deeply transformative to the physical body and nervous system, improving strength, flexibility, and stability, while promoting greater concentration and mental steadiness.

During this workshop, there will be: • A one-hour vinyasa flow practice including specific preparatory actions for arm balances (e.g., hip openers, twisting, core exercises, shoulder, and wrist stability). • A two-part breakdown and explanation of a practice with arm/hand balances: Part 1: Crow (Bakasana/Kakasana), Baby Crow, One-Legged Crow/Flying Crow (Eka Pada Bakasana), Twisted Crow (Parsva Bakasana), and Firefly (Titibasana)> Part 2: Flying Pigeon (Eka Pada Galavasana), Koundinyasana 1 & 2, 8-Angle Pose (Ashta Rakrasana), and Pendant Pose Open to all levels of practice. Beginners as well as seasoned practitioners will learn how to start and or refine their practice of arm and hand balancing. Demystifying Arm Balancing Laura Anderson May 25

"The first three days after our attunement were rocky for me, with moodiness and vivid dreams. But on the third day if felt as if a dam broke - the Reiki came on strong. Ever since, the increasing energy has been nothing short of transformative. ALL of my health problems are gone, and more importantly so are my negative attachments to those problems. My worries have been replaced with such lightness and a real sense of playfulness. Fun is back." Sara D "My self-treatment has been consistent and is still a big part of my morning routine. I feel so blessed to be able to give myself this gift every morning after meditation." Kathryn F “I’m a CPA and tax season is extremely stressful and tiring. I signed up for Eleonore’s class not knowing what Reiki was, but believing it would help manage my stress and anxiety. I took her class in January and, in the following 3 months, I worked more than I had ever worked during any tax season, but I was also the least stressed I had ever been. I never dreamed Reiki would help me that much and now, after taking her Level 2 class as well, I am amazed at all the wonderful new things I have discovered about myself and the world around me. I am so very grateful to Eleonore for starting me on this wondrous journey! Her wisdom and radiant energy has truly been a blessing in my life!" Michelle Kemmer “Dear Ms. Koury, First I wanted to thank you for the beautiful workshop session. I slept from 5:30pm to 8:30am after the workshop.
