Inversion Investigation Workshop with Yuri Marmerstein

This is a 2-hour workshop focusing on handstands, and other arm balance and inversion techniques. The goal of the class is to help students gain a deeper understanding of the skill, how to develop it, and what to take back to their own practice in order to make progress.
This class is open to students of any background, age, or level of ability.

Completely new to handstands? This class will teach you how to prepare the body for the skill, with a special focus on taking care of the wrists and shoulders. You'll learn how to hold yourself up in a way that utilizes your body's structural support.

Afraid of falling? You'll learn how to safely bail the handstand to land on your feet every time. The skill becomes a lot easier when you're over the fear.

Already comfortable with holding handstand against the wall? Get some pointers to improve and refine your technique. Learn how to develop the balance to get your freestanding handstand.

Teacher of inversions? Learn new techniques and perspectives to help bring more success to your students.

Note that this is a general overview, so the actual content of the class will vary depending on the participants. This is not a pre-rehearsed workshop but something that is fluid and adapts to the group of students taking it.
Yuri's teaching style is a mix of theory and practice, so while students are encouraged to actively participate, there is also a lot to be gained through listening and observing.
