My Flight School workshop will take you from feeling fearful to flying confidently!

Let me introduce you to the inversion family of āsanas. In this challenging and fun yoga workshop we explore 3 yoga inversion poses ...

• dolphin pose (Ardha Pincha Mayūrāsana)
• headstand (Śīrsāsana)
• handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksāsana)

You will learn the basics of going toes up!

Flight requires lift. I will teach you how to lift off and up with control. You'll learn the right foundational yoga poses to practice to help you on your inversion journey. You'll leave having a clear "flight plan".

I've been teaching my Flight School workshop since 2012 throughout California at yoga studios, gyms, for private groups at their homes and on the beach.

Don't let fear stand in the way of taking your journey to headstand and handstand!

You might just amaze yourself!

Acknowledge fear. Start where you are.

Practice.

There are so many variations of inversions. Are you ready to explore?

You will get more flexible and strong on your inversion journey!

Downward Dog pose is the first inversion we meet when practicing yoga. In this pose our head goes down and our tail goes up. It's a yoga foundation pose that helps build strength and endurance for going toes up.

Inversion poses used to terrify me!

So, I developed my flight plan.

With my plan, practice, focus and a sense of playfulness --- I learned to do them confidently.

Now, I teach others to overcome their fear of going toes up. Come fly with me!
