Struggling with headstand? It’s not you — it’s the ingredients!

Truth about Headstand
Common mistakes you didn’t know you were making

A myth-busting free live training that will transform how you understand headstand (and reveal why what you are doing now could be holding you back).

Thursday 10 July, 12pm (BST)

Why This Training Is Different

If you’ve ever:

  • Struggled to lift your legs off the floor

  • Felt unsteady, even when using a wall

  • Experienced neck pressure, discomfort, or fear

  • Wondered why your headstand practice feels harder than it should

You’re not alone — and it’s not your fault.

Many popular headstand instructions are misaligned with the actual biomechanics of the pose. They emphasise strength in the wrong areas, which means you miss out on where you actually need it.

This training will give you clarity that could save you months or even years of frustration.

 
 

If You’ve Been Taught Any of These, You’re in the Right Place:

❌ Measuring arms by grabbing opposite elbows
❌ Using the wall as your main support
❌ Using dolphin pose as a warm-up for strength
❌ Learning tripod headstand before forearm headstand
❌ Placing little to no weight on your head

These instructions are still widely taught — but they don’t line up with how the pose really works.

You’re not broken. The instructions are.

Why Your Current Approach Is Holding You Back

Have you ever been in a Yoga class where the teacher says, “Okay, those who can headstand, go ahead,” or “Do this, this, and this and lift up”? Maybe you’ve been told to use a wall, or that dolphin pose will build the exact strength you need.

Here’s the problem: That’s not how headstands work. These “quick fixes” may sound simple, but without the right foundation and understanding of the real mechanics, they often lead to frustration, discomfort, or worse—injury.

Most classes don’t give you the time, depth or the specific guidance you need to truly understand the pose. And as a result, many struggle for months or even years, thinking they just need more strength or flexibility - or just increase practice time.

But the truth is—it’s not about working harder; it’s about working smarter.

What You’ll Learn in This Training

✅ The major flaws in the most commonly taught headstand methods.

✅ Why these instructions don’t align with the actual mechanics of the pose.

✅ How these missteps lead to struggles with lifting up legs, balance, discomfort.

✅ The missing ingredients that many trainings leave out.

Why These Methods Don’t Work (and What You’re Missing)

The reality is that many of the most widely taught headstand methods are outdated, ineffective, or even counterproductive. If you've been following these techniques, you're probably frustrated—wondering why headstand still feels difficult, uncomfortable, or just impossible.

In this Live training, I’m going to reveal why these common instructions don’t make sense and how they’re limiting your practice. You’ll walk away with a much clearer understanding of what you’re doing wrong, why the typical methods aren’t getting you where you want to be, and the required formula for being in the Happy Headstand zone.

Who This Training Is For

  • Students who have been stuck or frustrated with headstand for months or years

  • Teachers who want to deepen their understanding beyond common cues

  • Anyone ready to unlearn ineffective instructions and discover what truly works

This session is not a headstand tutorial — you won’t be doing headstand live. Instead, you’ll learn why many methods don’t work and the foundational elements you need to build safe, confident practice.

Note: This training is designed for students and teachers with some headstand experience — not complete beginners.
