Video Step-by-Step Breakdown: Compass Arm Balance

The compass arm balance has long been one of my favorite shapes to play around with. It requires  strength, balance and flexibility. In this video, we will go over some ways to open your body (hamstrings, shoulders, hips and more) to prepare it for the arm balance. Then, there are a ton of different steps and stages and fun ways to play around with getting into it.

Compass arm balance is so much more than a pose. If you learn to journey into this one with ease, it can give you the tools to live life with a balance of strength and flexibility. The compass arm balance (and yoga) can show you that ease, rather than force, is what allows great openings to happen. It is a wonderful way to live life! Deep breaths and have fun!
