90 MINUTES. ALL LEVELS.
This Handbalancing Essentials workshop will focus on perfecting your alignment for a variety of inversions on the head, hands, and forearms. Props will be used to practice balancing your inversions. Learn the art of down and up press, and correct body posture and engagement. The session will end with a short segment of deep stretching.
Wear comfortable clothes. Please bring a yoga mat and drinking water.
**CANCEL POLICY: no refunds. A credit will be applied if the workshop is cancelled at least 7 days in advance.

AYESHA LAB: A Technical & Biomechanics-Based Workshop
Ayesha Lab is a structured, evidence-informed workshop focused on
the biomechanics and motor patterns required for a stable,
repeatable Ayesha.
We’ll begin with a targeted warm-up designed specifically for inverted shoulder loading, emphasizing joint preparation, scapular mechanics, and progressive activation of the shoulders, lats, and core.
Prerequisites include a consistent invert, extended butterfly, and foundational shoulder control.
Rather than relying on brute strength, this lab breaks the skill
down into measurable components so dancers understand why the
Ayesha works—not just how to attempt it.
Participants will leave with practical “lab findings,” including
precise engagement cues, error-correction strategies, and
efficiency-based grip and alignment concepts.
The workshop includes a visual Ayesha decision flowchart to diagnose breakdowns in balance, line, or strength, along with a PDF lab packet containing the warm-up protocol, lesson plan, and a structured flow sequence for continued training.
Ayesha Lab is designed for dancers who want sustainable progress, technical clarity, and a repeatable system
**cancel policy: no refunds. A credit will be applied if the workshop is cancelled at least 7 days before the scheduled start date.
