Inversion Workshop Series with Amanda Slawinski
This series, suitable for both beginners and seasoned yogis, will guide you through building and strengthening the foundations for inverting. We’ll create a safe base to find balance on your head, forearms and hands. Join us on this exciting journey of flipping your perspective with curiosity and the joy of learning something new!
In each class, we’ll explore the building blocks of inversion practices, including arm balances, headstands, forearm-stands and handstands. Warm-ups tailored to the specific shapes of each session will help prepare your body for the inversions. Partner work will also be included to build confidence in your inversion practice.
The workshop format will be interactive and collaborative, encouraging you to share your experiences and learn from each other. Even if you’re not ready to lift your feet off the ground, this is an opportunity to explore a new perspective in your yoga practice and beyond.
