Inversion Investigation Workshops with Yuri Marmerstein

Learn new perspectives on how to approach, explore, and develop your handstand practice. The day will be split into a beginner and an intermediate/advanced session; though participants are welcome to attend both as well.

The beginner session will focus more on physical preparation, theory, and development of the basic techniques in order to get students more comfortable on their hands and create a good base for more advanced skills.
Prerequisites:none

Topics covered:
-Physical Preparation for wrists and shoulders
-Alignment for the handstand, and how to get around restrictions
-Arm support using the body’s physical structure to its advantage
-Building comfort and awareness during inversion

-How to safely bail out of the handstand to increase confidence and help prevent potential injury
-Developing balance in the handstand using a deliberate and methodical method
