Feet & Inversions

Feet & Inversions

Feet & Inversions: A challenging practice that begins with extended foot work to explore how thoroughly preparing our feet can give clarity and direction in arm balances, standing balances, and inversions. Lots of inversions and opportunities to practice press handstand, I like to do this sequence after a run when I am already quite warm, but you could also warm up another way or dive right in :).

Get out of your head and into your body

Get out of your head and into your body: with so much of our world moving online and a natural tendency to get ‘pulled up’ into our thinking, this is a practice to encourage awareness to filter through the whole of our body mind. Start on the floor and sneak into a more dynamic movement exploration whilst cultivating moment to moment awareness.
