Inversions are an essential component of our asana practice. They increase blood flow and empower us to flip our perspectives! Weight-bearing exercises also improve bone health.

In this fun and functional inversion workshop, you will learn to refine your inversion skills, better understand these complex poses, and play upside down! Prepare the body with a dynamic Vinyasa flow and practice a few key drills to invert your body in common inversions like headstand, handstand and/or forearm balance. We will also explore a few commonly practiced backbends (i.e. wheel pose) that are classified as inversions as well.

Please have some familiarity with Vinyasa yoga (specifically downward-facing dog, bridge and plank) and an ability to bear some weight on your hands and wrists. Come with an open mind, an adventurous spirit and a dose of humility and get ready to explore the world upside down!

Are you ready to take flight?

NOTE: This workshop advances your asana practice by exploring a variety of hand-balanced inversions, not only handstand.
