What if learning to go upside down didn’t start with kicking into a wall—but with curiosity, movement, and learning to trust your hands?

In this 2.5-hour workshop we’ll explore inversions and handstands through gradual, intelligent progressions designed for beginners and intermediate practitioners alike. Instead of chasing a final shape, we’ll focus on building confidence, strength, coordination, and ease—one playful experiment at a time.

Through ground-based patterns, animal-inspired movements, and weight-shifting drills, you’ll learn how to:

• become more comfortable bearing weight through the hands and shoulders

• move upside down with control rather than force

• break complex shapes into accessible steps

• let go of “all-or-nothing” thinking around inversions

• enjoy the process of being inverted—right where you are

Expect a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere where exploration is encouraged and progress is measured in sensations, awareness, and small wins rather than perfect poses.

Whether you’re new to inversions, curious about handstands, or looking for smarter ways to refine your foundations, this workshop offers tools you can take back into your regular practice—again and again.

Come ready to play, fall, laugh, rest, and try again.
