A chance to explore classic inversions, such as headstands, forearm stand and handstands.  This is ideal for the person who has a regular yoga practice and who are keen to discover more about their inversion potential. 

We will begin with an asana practice and thereafter move into alignment techniques, strength elements, the embodiment of inversions and safely taking weight on your arms and hands. We will build it up progressively working on upper body stamina, core conditioning and wrist awareness.

We will work in pairs presenting the art of spotting inversions to help with both alignment and ensuring safety in the room. There will be an opportunity to get creative with your inversions including partner inversions.    

It’s your chance to turn your world upside down.

We are aware that the science and guidance on this is constantly changing as we transition to a new normal with Covid. But at this stage, we still feel it’s important to know that you are safe and keeping others safe too.
