Inversions and Arm Balance Yoga Workshops
Master the technique, breath, and focus required to invert safely. I guide you through the process of building strength and confidence, one session at a time.
Guiding a student into a supported headstand. We focus on building shoulder and core strength, which are the true foundations of a safe and stable inversion practice.
The journey to a forearm balance is one of building confidence. With hands-on support, students learn to trust their strength and find the point of balance.

Breaking down the fundamentals of Sirsasana. I teach the correct hand and head placement to protect the neck and build a strong, reliable foundation for the pose.
Assisting a student in a pike-up to headstand. This advanced entry requires significant core control and shoulder stability, which we build progressively in class.

About Inversions & Arm Balances: Building Strength & Confidence
Inverting is not about brute strength, but about understanding the alignment of your shoulders and the engagement of your core. I use hands-on adjustments to help you move past the fear of being upside down, focusing on safe entries and exits for poses like Sirsasana and Bakasana.
My approach to inversions is grounded in a slow, steady progression. Whether we are working on a headstand (Sirsasana) or an arm balance like Bakasana (Crow Pose), my priority is technique over ambition. We do not rush the process. Instead, we spend time building the necessary stability in your shoulders, wrists, and core.
In these technical workshops, I cap the group at 10 to 12 participants. This allows me to provide individual attention, ensuring you are not just holding a shape, but breathing into it. You will learn to use props like blocks and straps to support your practice, which creates a safer environment to explore your limits. We focus on the bandhas, the energetic locks that keep you stable, and the breath, which prevents you from tensing up during the challenge of an inversion.
If you are new to inversions or have struggled with the fear of falling in the past, these sessions are designed to dismantle that hesitation. We work on regression and preparation, making the poses accessible while ensuring you develop a foundation that feels sustainable and calm.
