Headstand for Beginners

Sat 27th June 2-4 PM

At Oca London - Bermondsey

Anyone can learn to do a headstand with patience, focus and consistent practice. Headstand (Sirsasana) is one of my favourite yoga postures because it is both empowering and humbling at the same time.

What to Expect

In this workshop, you will cultivate strength, balance and confidence while learning the mechanics of two variations of headstand. You’ll be guided safely and progressively into the pose at your own pace through a clear, step-by-step approach designed to help you feel supported throughout the session. You will learn techniques to help you access headstand when your body is ready — whether using a wall, working with a partner or practicing independently. The focus will be on controlled movement, awareness and building a strong foundation.

We will begin with a short meditation to quiet the mind and focus our attention, followed by a strengthening practice targeting the shoulders, upper body and core to prepare the body for inversion work. We will then break down the pose in detail, with plenty of time to explore and practice. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with: - A clear understanding of how to safely enter and exit headstand - Preparatory drills and strengthening techniques - Tools to overcome fear and build confidence - Greater body awareness and trust in your own practice.
