Welcome to the power of the bandhas.
'Bandha' is Sanskrit for 'lock' and, in yoga, refers to energetic locks in the body which help us maintain efficient energy and posture. There are three main bandhas we talk about in yoga: the pelvic floor, the diaphragm, and the neck, but we also talk about bandhas in the hands and the feet. You can learn more about them in my blog post here.
The bandhas are yoga's secret to effortless, graceful and light inversions. In this online workshop series, we will learn techniques to access our bandhas and revolutionise our inversion practice.
​

​
​
Through this series, you can expect to:
​
-
Build strength, stability and confidence in your inversion practice through the magic of the bandhas.
-
Learn about and embody the science of the yogic 'bandhas' or energetic locks, through biomechanics, and embodied anatomy to help you find strength, stability, and lift in more efficient ways for your body and practice (this is life-changing!).
-
Cover poses including down-dog, headstand, forearm stand, and handstand, using the wall or freestanding (you don't have to try freestanding unless you want to).
-
Find encouragement as you explore inversions and arm balances in a safe, friendly, and community-orientated online environment.
What if I told you that mastering yoga inversions is not about brute strength and increasing muscle mass, but something else?
In this course, you will open yourself to the magic of the bandhas to revolutionise your yoga and yoga inversion practice, whatever level you are at.
Course overview
This online course is comprised of three main modules, each containing 2 videos: one on anatomical theory, and one on embodied practice, plus an enlightening introduction to the bandhas and embodied anatomy - from a philosophical, historical, and anatomical perspective - and a ton of fab extras.
​
Module 3: Spiralling the Side Body & Arms
In this module, we explore internal and external rotation in the arms and shoulders to explore the side trunk as the vital support of our inversions. Get ready to experience your shoulders in downdog and other poses in new and transformative ways!
Video 1 - anatomical theory: exploring kenetic rotations and spirals in the arms and side body.

Testimonial
The course overall really helped me gain an understanding of some of the basics that have helped my overall practice become so much stronger. In the past, I have always found my wrists hurting when I would do inversions and arm balances - or even just from planks! But now I feel so much stronger with how I use my hands owing to the hasta bandha technique Floss taught. I really improved every week getting stronger and more confident!

I found Floss’ bandha and inversion workshop a great introduction to how to get into more complex yoga poses, something that I had been previously interested in but thought I lacked the strength and experience to achieve. Learning about the bandhas and starting with exercises to strengthen our bodies as well as our understanding of our anatomy was a really great way to explore how, each of us individually, could achieve inversions using our existing strength. I felt really empowered to give stuff ago with Floss’ enthusiastic teaching and support!
