TRIPSICHORE INVERSIONS - THE ART OF GOING UPSIDE DOWN
A weekend of Learning and Leisure
DECEMBER 12 - 14
with Heather Alyse
|
The workshop with Heather will explore expressive inversions that will strengthen your practice and bring about freedom and creativity. Heather's specialty in teaching Tripsichore inversions allows her to break down the postures with clarity. This workshop is not only for experienced practitioners who would like to get into new variations of headstands, handstands and arm balances, but also for beginners who can benefit from Heather's guidance and precise instruction. The first day we will focus strongly building comfort and ease in inversions by introducing the Tripsichore style using the breath to inspire a smooth continuous flow while entering and exiting. This style of breath and inverting will most likely be new to even advanced practitioners with a steady practice of inversions. We will also work on how to use the breath to move the legs and explore other leg variations upside down. The basics of breath and movement are the same for headstand, forearmstand, and handstand, so students will eventually be able to choose where they would like to work.
