Power and Poise: Inversions and Arm Balances with Monica Opderbeck and Justin Chickles! Monica Opderbeck Justin Chickles
Inversions and arm balances can feel intimidating or out of reach, but with the right tools, they are accessible, empowering, and deeply fun. Join us for a two-part immersion into the mechanics, strength, and confidence needed to take flight.
Over two Saturday workshops at Folk Yoga NOPA, you will learn targeted preparation exercises, key biomechanics, breath and bandha work, and how to use props and the wall to build spatial awareness. Whether you are aiming to take your first arm balance or refine an established inversion practice, this series offers clear, actionable instruction tailored to your unique body.
