You might wish to eat lightly before this class as we will be upside down quite a bit!

"The inversion class was so empowering. I was able to give it a try of a handstand pose even though I've never done it before, because I knew you were there to keep me safe. Also I was inspired to keep practicing, to not stress out about my current capability but just feel empowered that I will keep trying. Thank you."
​
"I had never done a proper inversion before. Under C’s watchful (and playful) eye, I tried a headstand, handstand, forearm stand and shoulder stand in my first ever inversions class! And I attribute the successes I had in each to the safe and comfortable atmosphere C creates which empowers you to push your limits. Thank you for reintroducing me to my body. "
