About Adrian:
Adrian has been passionate about movement his whole life. He has been finding his way in life through practicing many different forms of movement such as martial arts, gymnastics, skating, rock climbing and running. Most recently, his path has led him to a dedicated practice of yoga and hand balancing. Adrian’s practice is based on searching for and aspiring to the highest level of potential in himself so that he can share his experiences with each of his students as it pertains to their individual practice. Finding and nurturing each student’s potential is the goal of his teaching philosophy. Adrian’s classes challenge each student to gain more awareness of themselves, and through orchestrating their own alignment students achieve the choreography of seemingly complex movements. Classes are taught in a fun Vinyasa style with lots of modifications and amplifications. This style ensures that students can continuously challenge themselves and grow their own practice within the sequence, achieving their own personal potential.
Session 1:
All Levels Handstands
Sat. Feb 8th, 2020 at 2pm – 5pm
This an all levels inversion workshop will take an in depth look at the techniques necessary for proper alignment in handstand, as well as variations such as tuck, straddle, and full position. We will also examine appropriate hand and shoulder technique, torso strength, and the leg/hip intelligence necessary for negotiating inversions. We’ll also work on the mechanics behind more advanced movements such as press handstand, and a few other options for entry’s to handstand. All movement possibilities will be offered with modifications and amplifications, so wherever you are in your practice, the workshop will be appropriate for you.
Session 2:
Intermediate/Advanced Hand Balancing
Sun. Feb 9th, 2020 at 2pm – 5pm
This workshop will take the techniques acquired from the all levels workshop and offer more detailed evaluations of alignment. We will work specifically with more flexible positions such as hollow back, scorpion, chest stand, and additional conditioning techniques to improve muscle strength, coordination, and flexibility. A 15 to 30 second freestanding handstand is a prerequisite to attend this class, however exceptions can be made if the practitioner wants to observe on a theoretical level, or participate knowing it is an intermediate to advanced workshop. If the student has the prerequisite strength, stability, and understanding of alignment principals, we will work on conditioning techniques to acquire the strength and coordination for a one arm handstand. Students will leave with a clearer understanding of the drills necessary to practice a one arm handstand, and a clearer path towards how it can be accomplished.
