Yoga Journey: Unlocking the Eight-Angle Pose Special Class with Lesley de Cruz, Jun 30

Orchard Central
Monday, June 30, 2025
7pm- 8pm

Flow through a dynamic sequence designed to build strength, stability, and body awareness with a special focus on arm balances. Our journey leads to astavakrasana (eight-angle pose) a playful yet grounding posture.

We will begin with a warm-up that opens the hips, activates the core, and strengthens the wrists and shoulders. Throughout the flow, you will explore transitions that prepare your body for lift-off, cultivating both courage and control.

Whether you’re new to arm balances or deepening an existing practice, this class offers modifications and progressions for all levels. Come ready to sweat, play, and tap into your inner strength.

ABOUT LESLEY DE CRUZ



Lesley discovered yoga at a time when she felt lost working at a high-stress job. As someone who struggled with injuries due her to athletic training, yoga was her way of finding an alternate means to move her body that didn’t require high energy or impact. Stepping onto the mat brought her into a safe space, and with a gentle nudge from her dad, she took her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Dr Venky Reddy and started sharing her practice in 2016.

Connection to the breath plays a big part in Lesley’s practice and how she uses the mat as a space for healing. She loves to focus on nourishing and mindful flows, akin to a dance on the mat. To her, stepping onto the mat is therapy and she wants to be able to share that with her students. 

Through the evolution of her practice and her own journey on and off the mat, the one thing Lesley wants to share with her students is the reminder that “we need to be kinder to ourselves”. Each day is different, and the best thing you can do for yourself is to step on the mat with and open heart and an open mind. 

Off the mat, Lesley is her happiest in a cozy space with a book in hand–she never leaves home without her trusty Kindle.
