Inversions like headstands can be intimidating at first, but going upside down can be fun and — when broken into accessible steps — can be a rewarding challenge that builds confidence.
In this 4-week programme, you’ll explore positions that take your head lower than your heart and your bum higher than your head.
From downward dog to accessible explorations of headstand, you’ll learn how to move your body efficiently and build the strength and flexibility you need to take the fear out of going upside down.
