Turn that frown upside down
Saturday 10.09.2022, 11:30-4:00pm with Jodie Roberts
Come join Jodie for a very special 4hr workshop to get you going upside-down and rediscover the joy in life.
When we are younger, we do not fear failure, or the unknown. But as we get older the doubt and the rigid mindset start to set in “I could never do that” “I’m not worthy” “I’m not strong/flexible/capable enough”
So, let’s come back to our inner child and have fun while we learn how to prepare, prop and try going upside-down. We will cover all the ‘stands’ – headstand, shoulderstand, forearm stand, handstand, even chinstand
Learn how to warm up and prepare the body and the mind through informed sequencing, breathwork and a short meditation.
Take off in ways you never thought possible and take the key points off the mat and into your heart. The energetics of the poses, and what we get from them – playfulness, curiosity, groundedness, fear-facing and more.
We then ease into a restorative practice to open the heart and melt away any remaining limiting self-beliefs. We rebalance the masculine energy of “doing, acting, leading” with the feminine energy of “being, nurturing, reflecting” and so come back to our true selves. Balanced, vitalised and clear-headed
A closing meditation and journaling will seal the experience, so you leave the studio reconnected, recentered, and back in love with your true self
In this workshop you will:
- Learn classic inversions as well as modifications using props.
- Safe and effective alignment principles for building an inversion practice.
- Discover ways to modify inversions using blocks and other yoga props.
- Melt tension with restorative yoga
- Gain clarity, patience, poise, balance, and strength!
Taught in English.
Costs: 79€ (incl. snacks and drinks)
Who can attend?
Heels over head workshop is ideal for students who are generally fit and healthy***. Whether you are ‘nearly’ ready to come into inversions, or new to the postures. Or are simply curious to find out more about being upside down. If you are a regular practitioner of these poses, you will learn how to bring more depth and variety to your inversions, such as different entries and exits
****6 months of previous yoga practice is suggested, and ability to hold plank
What if I can’t come into shoulder-stand or headstand pose just yet?
Then this workshop is ideal for you! Once you begin to understand the key muscle groups and what areas to warm up, you’re on your way. You will learn to work safely with alternative movements. And gradually master yoga techniques to help you understand and practice the poses. It’s an explorative workshop, and you can pick up new tips and ideas to improve your skills.
