Karanda Foundations: Intro to Karandavasana with Thony Lu

Karandavasana might look like magic — floating a lotus down onto your arms and lifting it back up again — but behind the magic is a method. And it starts here.

This 2-hour workshop is your prep lab for exploring Karandavasana with intention, technique, and curiosity. Whether you're just getting familiar with Ashtanga or already on your Mysore journey, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • Shoulder, core, and hip techniques to support the posture

  • How to prepare for lotus and strengthen your descent

  • Key progressions using Pincha Mayurasana, props, and breath control

  • How to navigate fear and resistance in arm balancing

Open to all levels.

No prior experience with Karandavasana is required — but we highly recommend attending a few Led Ashtanga, Intro to Ashtanga, or Mysore Intro classes at RAW beforehand to better prepare.
