Inversions & Backbends 20-Hour Training with Rebecca Hannah & Miles Mortensen
Come and explore the tools, techniques, and mechanics behind backbends and handstands in this immersive 20-hour training. Together we’ll break down the foundations of these challenging but rewarding movements, giving you practical drills and creative approaches to help you unlock new possibilities in your practice.
What to expect:
Mobility drills to open up range of motion and build strength where you need it
Creative use of props to support, challenge, and inspire your movement
Hands-on spotting and adjustments for safe, confident exploration
Funky and playful transitions to keep your practice fresh
Ways to integrate drills seamlessly into a flowing practice
This training is for anyone curious about understanding the mechanics of backbends and handstands, whether you’re a student who feels you’ve plateaued and wants tips to move forward, or a yoga teacher looking for new inspiration. You’ll learn how to recognise your body’s unique limitations, how to adapt sequences to support your growth, and how to create flows that feel authentic to you.
Yoga teachers will also gain tools to update their classes with mobility-inspired drills, support their students through common challenges, and bridge the gap between traditional yoga and modern movement practices.
About us:
We both began with yoga as our foundation, before expanding our movement knowledge through contortion training, working with hand balance teachers, and studying with circus professionals. These experiences transformed our own practice, helping us level up in ways we never expected — and now we’re passionate about sharing that journey with others.
Accessibility:
Both of us continue to work with students of all levels, and we’re experienced at modifying and adapting so that everyone can get the most out of their training. Whether you’re newer to backbends and handstands or looking to refine and push further, we’ll offer progressions and variations that meet you where you are and help you grow.
