# 1 Backbends

Backbends, a.k.a. heart-openers can be intimidating. In this two hour workshop we will study the tools to feel safe with the physical and emotional aspects of backbending and explore how different body types approach backbends differently. Adriano will guide you to do this safely, confidently and with control. We will look at different backbend poses in depth, with beginner to advanced variations shown for each. You will learn how to use various props to expand more and deepen your practice.

What to bring:
- yoga mat 
- water bottle
- etc.

This workshop is for beginners/intermediate/advanced practicioners.

With Adriano Natoli – 500 hrs YTT yoga instructor, calisthenics

Thanks to my dad’s persistence and many people’s recommendation I went to my first yoga class at a Mysore Shala after realizing that competing on a national level as a swimmer didn't give me any purpose. 

I made an impression to walk into a Mysore class as a 15 year-old. There was only the sound of breath and as I observed the students, I could not understand but admire the intention and energy in the room. In the 8 years of Ashtanga practice that followed I learned to channel my juvenile energy to become disciplined and develop the willpower to connect on another level with myself.

As my life continued to revolve around movement I found my way to Patagonia to study adventure tourism. The connection to nature through my studies felt authentic and it was the grounding I was seeking to integrate into my practice. 
I then started with climbing and calisthenics in my 20s and that natural shift made me find a balance between all of these three practices. It helped me experience my body in different ways and brought the joy and motivation to pursue the path as a teacher. I completed 200h and 300h YTT (Yoga Alliance) in Colombia and Estonia and I have been teaching internationally for over 6 years.

# 2 Handstand + inversions Sunday May 21

In this step-by-step workshop you will take a deep dive into headstands, forearm stands and handstands. It's common to feel stuck in your yoga practice when training for inversions. To prevent injury, it's important to understand the foundations to create a solid base for balancing on two hands. We will learn how to build strength, overcome fear and get upside down. The program will advance gradually until you will eventually do a freestanding handstand.

# 3 arm balances + inversions Sunday June 18

This fun, challenging workshop is for everyone who wants to try arm balances or who wants to feel more comfortable in their already existing practice. Strength is not the only requirement for arm balances, mental focus is also needed to keep the body in balance.Students often over-rely on force when working on these poses rather than learning to understand the essential mechanics to lift your body up. Building the right foundation will allow for more advanced poses.
