Struggling With Headstand?
It’s Not You — It’s Your Technique.
The Art of Headstand
Finally unlock a proven system trusted by yoga teachers and students worldwide to build a sustainable, balanced wall-free headstand practice — without guesswork.
For years, I thought I had a headstand practice — until pain and poor habits forced me to unlearn everything. What I discovered changed everything. Now, I’ve taught these techniques to 100’s of students and teachers who felt “stuck” — and helped them transform their headstand from shaky and short-lived to strong, confident, and centered.
And you absolutely can too.
Inside The Art of Headstand, you'll learn:
The exact step by step process to create the headstand practice you are dreaming of
To no longer struggle with lifting your legs, balance, fear or feeling you need more strength through a process that makes sense.
Why most common yoga headstand cues actually hold you back
The 4 Vital Phases of headstand that unlock your dream headstand
A methodical, injury-aware path to freestanding headstand — even if you’ve been using the wall for years
How to train smarter, not harder — without needing more flexibility or brute strength
Personalized feedback on your videos + private support group for your questions
“I’ve taught for 12 years, and this completely changed my headstand. I finally understand what my body should be doing — and I can teach it more clearly too.”
— Em, Yoga Teacher
You’re Not Alone if Headstand Feels… Frustrating, Confusing, or Out of Reach
You’re strong enough to hold down dog…
You’re flexible enough to fold…
But when it comes to headstand, something just doesn’t click.
Maybe you feel:
Shaky, unstable, or drained in the posture
Reliant on the wall — and unsure how to ever leave it
Stuck in short holds with no sense of control or confidence
Unsure what cues to follow or how to correct yourself
If that sounds familiar, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
It’s because most people — even trained yoga teachers — have been taught techniques that miss the essential foundations of a balanced, sustainable headstand.
The Real Problem Isn’t Your Strength. It’s Your Setup.
Most methods focus on forcing strength or copying alignment shapes, but ignore the deeper mechanics of the posture:
Spinal activation
Arm placement
Shoulder awareness
Limb-to-core integration
The sequence of movement
If you’ve ever been told to "grab your elbows to measure arm width" or to “place little to no weight on your head” — you’ll practising with the handbrakes on - so no wonder you are experiencing struggle… It doesn’t have to be that way - and I’ll show you how.
This System was designed for students and teachers like You — Who Want Clarity, Not Confusion and a process that makes sense
No fluff. No gimmicks. No more guessing.
Just clear, tested and aligned methods that build your headstand from the inside out.
Why I Had to Unlearn Everything I Knew About Headstand
Years ago, I thought I had a solid headstand practice.
I could kick up. I could stay up. From the outside, it looked fine — but inside the pose, I felt tense, unstable, and disconnected. There were days when I’d come down physically exhausted or sore, wondering why it didn’t feel right.
Then I trained with someone at the very top of their game — and I quickly realised that everything I had been taught (and was teaching) about headstand was either incomplete, ineffective, or just plain wrong.
That moment was both humbling and liberating.
I had to unlearn years of bad habits and rebuild from the ground up. I started studying deeply:
How headstand mechanics really work
How small changes in activation and sequencing make a massive difference
Why so many “standard” cues actually destabilise the posture, focus on the wrong mechanics and miss strengthen where you actually need it (it isn’t your arms).
Over the last decade, I’ve refined a system that helps students rebuild their headstand from the inside out — with clear, methodical steps that lead to real confidence and control. It’s an approach that makes sense.
I've shared this system with Yoga students and teachers from all over the world — and it's consistently helped them go from shaky and stuck to strong, balanced, and independent in their practice.
This system is everything I’ve learned — compressed, clarified, and structured to give you the best possible foundation for a lifelong headstand practice.

Why I Created This system
I created The Art of Headstand because too many students blame themselves when a pose doesn’t work — when in reality, it’s the technique that’s often failing them - almost every time.
I want to give you the clarity, understanding, and tools I wish I had when I started.
You don’t need super-human arm strength.
You don’t need to “try harder.”
You just need a better system — one rooted in real foundations and aligned mechanics.
And that’s exactly what this system delivers.

And no more Fear.

Real Students. Real Progress.
You don’t have to take my word for it — here’s what students and yoga teachers are saying after applying the techniques from The Art of Headstand:
"I’ve learnt so much from this course and am integrating the new knowledge into my practice. I really enjoyed learning about the preparation and activation stages — especially the part where you said it’s the hips that lead the movement of the legs, not the other way round! I’ve become more aware of my body and conscious about which parts I should activate."
— Lin
"Thank you for the Headstand Fundamentals course. It’s brilliant. The way you've broken down all the essential components is so beneficial & makes total sense. Thank you for your extremely well-considered & fantastically delivered course, & for giving us all your expertise & energy!"
— Chang
"Thank you so much — I feel so much more confident and it has been really interesting. It's amazing taking things step by step, it's so my cup of tea!"
— Emma (Yoga Teacher)
"Rory is an incredible teacher. I learnt so much which I’ve been able to include in my everyday practice. I can’t wait to come back & learn some more!"
— Felicity (Yoga Teacher)
"I already had an inversions practice, but this completely changed how I approach headstand. The clarity, detail, and focus on technique have made a massive difference."
— Alex
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this course suitable for me?
This course is designed for yoga students and teachers who have some experience with asana (ideally 4+ months of regular practice) and want to improve or rebuild their headstand technique.
It’s not suitable for complete beginners, but you don’t need to already be doing freestanding headstands to benefit. In fact, this is perfect if you:
Rely on the wall and want to become more independent
Feel stuck, shaky, or unsure in the pose
Want clear, structured guidance (not just trial and error)
What if I already have an inversions practice? Will I still learn something new?
Absolutely — and this is a common surprise. Many experienced practitioners have never been shown the biomechanical or energetic subtleties that really make headstand feel balanced and light.
Whether you’re confident upside-down or just starting to build strength, you’ll gain deeper body awareness, more refined control, and techniques that enhance your teaching and practice.
What if I practise a different style of yoga? Will this still apply?
Yes. The principles taught in this course are based on sound biomechanics, body awareness, and energetic alignment — not tied to any one yoga lineage.
You can integrate these techniques into whatever style you practise, from Hatha to Vinyasa to Iyengar and beyond.
How long will it take to see progress?
The course is based on a 4 stage programme. Depending on where you are at in your headstand journey and how much time you have each week will determine your progress. Many students experience a major shift within the first 1–2 weeks, especially if they’re consistent and submit a video for feedback.
This isn’t about rushing; it’s about building something that lasts. The real transformation happens when you give the system space to work.
How long do I have access to the course?
You’ll have 6 months of access to all course materials and updates, so you can revisit the modules, refine your technique, and truly integrate the process at your own pace.
Is the course refundable?
Course bookings are non-refundable, as the full training is delivered immediately upon registration. If you have any specific questions before enrolling, just reach out — we’re happy to help you determine if it’s a good fit.
