Think arm balances aren’t for you?

When most people try arm balances, they focus on the wrong things.
They think it’s just about stretching tighter hips, pushing harder in core work, or muscling through with strength.

But here’s the truth: without the right foundations, you’ll keep hitting the same wall.
Random classes, endless YouTube scrolls, flows that move too fast or don’t feel right for your body, none of it really sticks.

You don’t just need more flexibility.
You don’t just need more effort.
You need a smarter approach.

I get it.

I used to think arm balances weren’t for me.
I wasn’t a gymnast or naturally strong and I know what it’s like to feel stuck, frustrated, or even embarrassed trying to balance on your hands.

Maybe you’ve told yourself:

  • “I’m just not built for this.”

  • “I’ll never be strong enough.”

  • “I can’t even figure out where to start.”

The truth is, you’re not failing, you just haven’t been given the right steps.

There’s a smarter way.

What if you could surprise yourself with how strong you really are?

This workshop is about building the foundation that makes arm balances accessible…even exciting.


👉 Real strength and mobility (without overdoing it)
👉 Clarity and calm through your breath
👉 Practical steps that connect the dots, so the poses make sense in your body

No more second-guessing. No more random flows. No more thinking “this isn’t for me.”

Instead, you’ll leave with a clear path, a deeper sense of confidence, and that unbeatable feeling when you realise:

I can actually do this.

  • “Since working with Ben, I feel grounded, treat myself with more compassion, and established consistency; I found the confidence to grow and deepen my relationship with yoga.”

    Shane

  • "I was surprised by the personal touches. It felt like Ben really cared and was invested in me and I didn’t expect that. It didn’t feel transactional. Ben was patient and clear and the pace was good. I was able to trust him from the beginning."

    Sonia

  • "With Ben we have explored different styles to identify what works for me and what doesn’t. He makes sure to check in after every class. I’m now getting better and better at finding stillness which has always been difficult for me."

    Luis

  • "I really enjoyed the balance of meditation, asana, and breath work. Each session is strategically constructed and poetic. These things, paired with Ben’s wonderful instruction and pacing make for a well-rounded & refreshing wellness practice."

    Madeleine

Meet your teacher.

“Arm balances did not come easy to me - I had to put in the work. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, to doubt if those poses are even possible.

That’s exactly why I love teaching them. Because I learnt to master them, and if I can, so can you.

In this workshop, I’ll share the step-by-step approach that helped me build the strength, focus, and confidence to make arm balances accessible.

You’ll get hands-on guidance, practical tips, and the chance to explore these poses in a supportive, light-hearted way without needing to be the most flexible or the strongest in the room.”
