Splits for Yogis 2.30pm - 4.30pm

Handstands for Yogis 5pm - 7pm

Price: £45

 In this course, Sylvia will guide you through intelligent sequencing to move you along your journey into Hanumanasana (monkey pose), or splits as well the foundations of handstands and its practical application to a yoga flow. 

During our splits session we will be focusing on tight hamstrings, quadriceps and psoas muscles along with the glutes — which will need to be strong in order to ensure a safe practice. You will come away with a greater understanding of what is involved in this posture, and with the tools to continue improving it in your own regular practice. 

During the handstand workshop we will be looking at handstand alignment from an acrobatic perspective in order to find a straight line that is not only more functional for transitions but much safer for the shoulder girdle than the more commonly seen yoga handstand alignment. Sylvia taught herself how to stand on her hands over many years but really saw a huge change in her inversion practice when she started training it acrobatically. In this workshop she will share tips on how to improve your line, find balance and look at some of the transitions we commonly see in flow yoga styles today such as Dharma and Rocket.

This course is suitable for all levels and options will be given to suit any range of flexibility. 

We recommend booking the course as a whole to get the most out of it, however it’s also possible to book into the workshops individually.
