Foundations of Flight Strength for Arm Balancing
Ever wanted to try Handstand or arm balancing, but felt intimidated or unsure what to work on?
Starting Saturday, October 10th, we’re launching a 3-part Strength Building Series designed to help you build confidence, strength, and balance from the ground up.
This series focuses on strengthening drills to make handstands and inversions less scary. If you have tried a few arm balances & want to get stronger and improve your handstand entrances, this is a great series for you.
Here is what we’re exploring:
Oct 10: Foundations of Flight (Build wrist, shoulder & core strength)
Oct 17: Get Stronger! (Balance & compression drills)
Oct 24: Transitions & Playful Flow (Putting it all together)
Come for one, or save when you sign up for all three! We will be building on the previous lesson each week.

Cacao and Restore: Free Member Event
This class is an invitation to slow down, soften, and come home to yourself. We begin by sipping ceremonial cacao—an ancient plant medicine known for gently opening the heart and grounding the body. As the cacao warms you from the inside, we’ll set an intention rooted in compassion, presence, and rest. The practice that follows is a deeply nourishing restorative flow. Postures are fully supported with props and held for longer periods, allowing the nervous system to unwind and the body to release without effort. Movement is minimal and mindful, guided by breath and subtle sensation rather than strength or flexibility. This is a practice of being, not doing. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to receive. You’ll leave feeling grounded, open-hearted, and deeply restored. Cacao sustainably sourced in Peru by the instructor, who holds a deep connection to the land and her people.
