For those who have been keeping an eye on the Yoga South Africa Instagram or Facebook page, you would have seen that I, Tarryn James, am currently completing my 300hour Advanced Teacher Training at The Wellness Connection in Hout Bay, Cape Town. I am excited to have Catherine Wilkinson, studio owner and lead teacher at The Wellness Connection, on the podcast for a second episode. In our previous episode we answer your questions about Teacher Training which came through our social media platforms. 

In this episode we look at peak poses (Splits, handstand, arm balances, hip openers and backbends) and breakdown the strength, flexibility and skill work needed for each posture. We discuss certain limitations and how you can work on these postures in your practice!
