Struggling with Headstand or Pincha? It’s not you — it’s the ingredients!
Truth about Inversions
Common mistakes you didn’t know you were making in Headstand & Pincha
A myth-busting free live training that will transform how you understand Headstand, Pincha & all inversions
(and reveal why what you are doing now could be holding you back).

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
Cant stop your elbows slipping in Pincha
Cant float your legs no matter how much you try or build strength
You’re not alone… and it’s not your fault.
Many popular inversion instructions are misaligned with the actual biomechanics of the pose. They emphasise strength in the wrong areas, rely on flexibility rather than actual mechanics 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 in Headstand 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 in headstand
❌ Told to use a belt around your arms or block between your hands to stop your elbows slipping in Pincha
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 into Pincha”? 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 Inversions 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 & Pincha 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 inversion methods are outdated, ineffective, or even counterproductive.
Or you are being taught by someone who has a great range of flexibility so they bypass key steps. Thats not helpful for you.
If you've been following these techniques, you're probably frustrated—wondering why inversions such as headstand and pincha 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 Ultimate Inversion Zone!

Who This Training Is For
Students who have been stuck or frustrated with headstand, pincha and inversions for months or years
Teachers who want to deepen their understanding of what many commonly taught cues miss out
Anyone ready to unlearn ineffective instructions and discover what really works
