Grasshopper pose with Andrea Robertson

A massive power pose, grasshopper has it all. It’s a twisting, arm-balancing, hip-opening, and major arm-strengthening pose all in one!

I just finished leading a group of 22 amazing women this past weekend for a Women’s Wellness Retreat at Shanti. I am still feeling the effects from the weekend, the awakening felt from all as we grew strength from one another, shared joy, laughter and much needed moments of stillness. I feel complete gratitude toward the Shanti family and the outstanding group of strong women who attended the retreat.
