F.a.q.
Will I need any equipment or props?
Yes. You will need the following:
one pair of handstand blocks (bring more if you have)
yogamat (or something similar to stretch on)
yogablocks (if you own more than one pair, bring them)
How many spaces are available?
The workshop will host a maximum of 14 people to ensure everyone will be seen.
What if I only have two out of the three prereqs, or am very close to achieving some of them, but don’t have them consistently?
If you don’t have 3 of 5 pre reqs I would recommend to join the intermedite workshop instead. Then work your ass off on join the advanced group next year.
I have a pre-existing injury, is it still safe to participate?
Please make sure you are cleared by your doctor before participating in this physical activity.
