Turn your world upside down!
During this workshop we will breakdown various inversions, such as headstand, forearm balance, crow and more. We will work on a range of strength and flexibility drills to help students build the confidence to bring inversions into their practice. If you have some experience and want to take your inversions to the next level then this class will give you all the tips and tricks to safely and steadily build on those foundations.
What’s the Gyrokinesis Method?
This method has been specifically designed by ballet dancer Juliu Horvath, to help people move their body in circular and fluid sequences without impact on the joints. Due to its focus on breath and continuous spiralling movements, this method has been proven to be pertinent for improving alignment, breath, strength, and flexibility simultaneously.
What’s the workshop about?
– introducing or learning more about the method’s sequences
– taking your knowledge of movement to a different level
– exploring ways to manage and prevent injuries
– finding enjoyment and relief within movement
What will we do?
– self-massage from head to toe
– align and mobilize the spine
– mobilize the pelvis; strengthen pelvic floor
– connect breathing patterns with movement
– build core stability through breath and contrast
– feel transitions between movements without strain
