Deepen your practice with workshops that focus on the mechanics of inversions, arm balances, and complex sequences, all while keeping safety at the forefront.
Grounding in a Scorpion Chin Stand. Before you can fly, you must build a strong foundation. This pose is a deep backbend and arm balance that requires immense shoulder and back strength.

Finding the joy in Firefly Pose (Tittibhasana). This arm balance requires open hips, strong hamstrings, and powerful core engagement, all of which we build towards in my advanced classes.
A variation of Scorpion Pose in a forearm stand (Pincha Mayurasana). This inversion challenges balance and requires significant shoulder stability and spinal flexibility.
A creative variation of Grasshopper Pose, an arm balance that also provides a deep twist. Exploring new shapes keeps the practice fresh and challenges the body in different ways.
Using the wall for support in this standing split variation (Visvamitrasana). Props can be excellent tools for safely exploring the alignment of advanced postures before trying them unsupported.

Finding the calm in the chaos of Super Soldier pose. This intense standing balance pose is a test of hamstring flexibility, hip rotation, and unwavering focus.
Urdhva Mukha Paschimottanasana, a challenging seated balancing pose. It requires core strength and flexible hamstrings to hold the body steady while folding forward.
A twisting and balancing variation of Warrior III. This pose detoxifies the spine while challenging your stability and focus. A healthy spine leads to a healthy mind.
About Advanced Asanas: Strength & Balance
Advanced arm balances aren't about brute force; they’re about understanding physics and finding your center. In my workshops, we use walls and blocks to safely break down complex movements like Pincha Mayurasana or Firefly, so you are learning the mechanics and alignment rather than just forcing your body into a shape.
When you step into an advanced workshop, it can feel intimidating. My goal is to shift that feeling into curiosity. We move away from the pressure of 'nailing the pose' and instead look at the anatomy behind it.
We start with conditioning drills. Before we ever attempt a full inversion or an intricate arm balance, we build the necessary stability in the shoulders, core, and wrists. You will learn to use props—walls, blocks, and straps—not as a sign of weakness, but as tools to map out how your body should feel in space.
We break down the logic of poses like the Crow, Grasshopper, or Scorpion. We talk about where your weight should shift, how to engage your breath, and crucially, when it is time to step back and rest. This is not about rushing to the peak pose; it is about building a sustainable practice that you can carry with you long after the workshop ends. Whether you are working toward your first headstand or looking to refine your balance in advanced twists, we approach every session with discipline, focus, and a healthy dose of playfulness.
