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.

Now back to the details of the workshop at hand, Massage and Flying Therapeutics.

We will explore the lunar side to AcroYoga, allowing us to slow down and cultivate listening and conscious touch.  This workshop will introduce you to Thai massage techniques; the use of gravity, body weight, touch and harmonics to realign and release.

We will cover the foundations to flying therapeutics that involves a base and flyer.  The base acts as a solid structure that enables the flyer to be suspended in an aerial inversion so that the base can work on the back and shoulders.

Open to all and especially those with an interest in massage techniques.  No partner necessary. You will be working in pairs or in groups of three.

Come with an open mind and willingness to play.  No partner needed
