Intro to Hand Balancing & Inversions
In this workshop we will explore proper alignment and techniques when it comes to hand balancing and inversions. This 2 hour workshop will focus on the foundations of these complicated movements, learning about all the body parts involved and how we will target them to properly execute these asana’s. The main purpose and function of the workshop is to allow students to gain comfort and awareness of the body when approaching inversions and hand balancing. We will also explore some fun and challenging drills to continue to improve on your inversion and hand balancing practice!
Handstands
Have you ever seen someone in a yoga class magically fly up into a handstand and wish you could too but didn't know where to start? Has it ever felt intimidating to you? Handstands can be scary and exciting all at once, but it's not just "magic" ;)
With proper technique, consistency and a willingness to seriously play, Nicole's workshop will show you the "magic" everyone beholds! This workshop begins with warm-ups as preparation, followed by the breakdown of alignment foundations, variations and transitions of handstands. With the aid of partner spotting, wall drills, personalized feedback and adjustments from Nicole, you will learn how to safely begin or continue your handstand practice so that you can then leave feeling confident to add these poses into the classes you attend or at home.

Intro to Inversions
Are you intimidated to go upside down? Are you scared of falling on your a$$? Have you already taken my inversions workshop but want a recap?
Inversions can be scary and exciting all at once, but they are also some of the most beneficial postures to add into your yoga practice, which you will learn throughout the workshop. We will begin with some basic warm-ups as preparation to go upside down and breakdown the foundations of headstand, forearm-stand and handstand. You will be guided through alignment, technique, modifications/variations and partner assists upside down. This workshop will help you gain confidence and trust the power within you! Get over your fear and gain some new perspective, you are ready now!
