Yoga: Twists & Arm Balances: Strength in Rotation, Power in Balance
This workshop starts at the center and builds outward. We’ll focus on trunk organization, layering the abdominal system, integrating larger back muscles, and refining spinal rotation with proper hip and shoulder internal rotation.
Through targeted drills, side planks, arm balances, and select inverted work, we’ll train rotation as a strength skill rather than a passive stretch. The goal is intelligent engagement, efficient force transfer, and stability that shows up immediately in your practice. When the center is organized, everything else becomes lighter, stronger, and more controlled. Come unlock the powerhouse.

Inversions & Core: Control The Line
Going upside down isn’t a test of strength — it’s a test of organization. In this workshop we use seated, supine, and upside-down drills, both solo and with partners, to refine the mechanics that make inversions efficient and repeatable. The focus is on trunk organization, pressure control, and spatial awareness so balance stops feeling random and starts feeling intentional.
Whether you’re new or experienced, we’ll go deep into balance, control, and skill so your inversions feel lighter, playful, and sustainable — not something you survive, but something you understand.

Yoga: Hip mobilization for everyone: Mobility you can control
This isn’t just a “hip opener” class — it’s a hip mobilization one. Instead of chasing stretch, we focus on developing usable, controllable movement at the joint itself. We’ll work through internal and external rotation, along with flexion, extension, and ab/adduction, to build a more complete and practical understanding of how the hips function — and which poses genuinely support your structure.
Expect banded drills, joint glides, oscillations, and targeted progressions designed to expand range, improve joint control, and reduce compensation patterns. The goal is not temporary openness, but durable mobility that translates directly into your practice.

Handstands and Core: From Kicking Up to Building Skill
This workshop is built around precision and skill development. Expect a series of targeted drills, both on the floor and in partners, designed to reinforce motor patterns, refine alignment, and sharpen proprioception. We’ll also address the role of the core in handstands: how to organize the trunk, improve line efficiency, reduce unnecessary shoulder load, and distribute weight intelligently through the hands.
All levels are welcome, though it will be especially valuable for practitioners who can already jump to handstand at the wall and want to build greater control, consistency, and understanding.

Yoga: Segmenting Backbends, precision before depth
Big backbends don’t come from pushing harder — they come from a spine that knows how to articulate segment by segment. In this workshop, we’ll develop true spinal segmentation, movement independence, shoulder integrity, and usable hip extension. The focus isn’t on going “deeper,” but on building the structural and neurological support that makes end ranges feel stable and safe.
Expect highly specific drills — deceptively simple, technically demanding — designed to improve control, distribute extension intelligently, and eliminate compensation patterns. The result: depth, resilience, and longevity that most advanced asanas alone will never provide. Select inversion work will be integrated to reinforce carryover and line organization.
