Headstand & Forearm Stand

Have you ever seen someone in a yoga class magically go upside down and wish you could too but didn't know where to start? Has it ever felt intimidating to you? Inversions can be scary and exciting all at once, but it's not just "magic". ;)

With proper technique, consistency and a willingness to seriously play, Nicole's workshop will show you the "magic" everyone beholds! This workshop begins with warm-ups as preparation, followed by the breakdown of alignment foundations, variations and transitions of headstand and forearm stand. With the aid of partner spotting, wall drills, personalized feedback and adjustments from Nicole, you will learn how to safely begin or continue your inversions practice so that you can then leave feeling confident to add these poses into the classes you attend or at home.
