Intro to Inversions: 4-week course

Join us for this four-week course in the fundamentals of flipping your world upside down and discover how inversions can benefit your body to build the emotional and mental resilience needed to cope with everyday stress. Throughout this course, students will practice yoga poses and movements to learn the proper alignment and body mechanics required to get into and stay upright in variations of Headstand, Forearmstand, and Handstand. This class will use various props such as Aerial Swings, Inversion Trainers, and much more to help train student's bodies, and minds to conquer self-limiting stories and fears that come up when practicing inversions. All ages, bodies, and mindsets are welcome! Class includes hands and knees and standing poses in addition to inversion postures both with and without props. Please see the medical disclaimers, speak with your doctor, or contact the studio for any questions and concerns.
