OVERVIEW

The Inverted State is a 20-hour immersion into the world of handstands and pincha.

It’s built for practitioners and teachers who want a clearer understanding of inversions — from technique and shoulder mechanics to the reasoning behind the drills you use.

Across the training, we break down the fundamentals of handstand and pincha, look at movement mechanics, strength, balance, and explore how to work with your own ranges.

You’ll learn what actually matters when you’re upside down, and how to approach your practice with more confidence and direction.

This immersion is practical, direct, and designed to help you improve your technique, understand your body, and train smarter — without overcomplicating anything.
