Your Instructor
Hi, my name is Bear! I'm a dancer, certified yoga instructor, a workshop maker, flexibility and handstand coach, and a fitness artist. I started hip-hop dance and breakdancing at 21. I still love but focus on basics while I teach and occasional perform it as a hobby. When I was 25, I started taking yoga and I fell in love with arm balances. Arm Balances builds wrist strength, a powerful boost of self confidence, lowers stress, builds endurance fatigue, and rejuvenates health throughout the entire body.
Back when I started learning Arm Balance it was a struggle especially handstands. I spent years finding the right direction, I wasn't sure if I was progressing. I spent time skill training, yoga teacher training school and caregiver to my mom who later passed due to stage four brain cancer, heart aneurysm, and stroke. She was a big supporter and inspired me too become a teacher. Over time I researched online, read books and articles, found a mentor and a Arm balance coach to help guide me. Once I understood the mechanics I just had to play with arm balances consistently and one day everything start to click and I was nailing arm balances. I made it a goal to master all of them so I can help others attain what took me years to achieve. One thing I realized and I tell others its more mental than physical.
I love sharing my light, my energy and my compassion towards others to help anyone achieve skills that seem impossible. I'm blessed and grateful to have all these skill sets. Normally, a teacher doesn't have time to teach a breakdown or a progression on arm balances besides crow in a 75 minute yoga class. I'm here to share my knowledge and progression techniques to help anyBODY type achieve any arm balance they desire.
