Weekend Schedule

​​

Friday – 6:00–8:30pm

Masterclass: Camel and Wheel

​We begin with a seamless, flow-based exploration of spinal mobility. I guide you through spinal waves, spirals, flexion, extension, lateral movement, and rotation, building strength, control, and fluidity. This leads into transitions between Camel, Wheel, and Drop Back, with partner work and props supporting alignment and creative exploration.

Saturday – 12:00–3:00pm

Splits Workshop

This workshop meets you exactly where you are in your front splits. We explore drills and progressions for the hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, hip flexors, and inner thighs, using passive, active, dynamic, and isometric techniques. You’ll discover playful transitions in and out of splits and learn how to create sequences that feel creative, fun, and safe. Partner work and props are integrated throughout.

Saturday – 4:00–7:00pm

Flip Your Grip Workshop

Together, we take your backbend practice further with dance-inspired waves, circles, and twists. We explore alignment, strength, and mobility for poses like Cobra, Bow, and Kapotasana, with an emphasis on smooth transitions. Props and partner work help you explore safely while connecting strength, flexibility, and flow.

​

Sunday – 9:00am–12:00pm

Back Strength and Conditioning for Backbends

This session focuses on the strength and activation needed for supported backbends. We work on core engagement, middle-back activation, spinal mobility, and lower-body strength. You’ll explore Cobra and Flying Cobra variations and move toward Bow and Donut progressions, integrating everything from the weekend.

​

Sunday – 2:00–5:00pm

Cheststand Exploration

We begin with a short mobility flow to prepare the spine, shoulders, and hips. The session then focuses on chest opening and a safe neck warm-up to prepare the body for Chest Stand. You’ll explore Chest Stand from the ground, pressing up and breaking down the mechanics and prerequisites of this entry. After building this foundation, we warm up the shoulders and practice Wheel and Forearm Wheel, including catching the ankles in Forearm Wheel, and explore how this can lead into Wheel → Chest Stand transitions. Partner work and props support alignment, activation, and creative exploration.
