Adriano Natoli Inversions Workshop Ashtanga Yoga

 

Dynamic Arm Balances & Backbends is a movement-based workshop exploring strength, flexibility, and fluid transitions between arm balances and deep spinal extension.

We will work with:

  • dynamic pathways into and out of backbends
  • using controlled momentum
  • weight shifts
  • shoulder mobility to create smooth and expressive movement.

 

The practice includes:

  • Scorpion transitions in handstand, as well as variations on the head and forearms, exploring balance, spinal articulation, and upper-body control.
  • Hollowback and tuck transitions, refining spatial awareness, core integration, and shoulder positioning in inversion.
  • Shoulder rotation in Padanghusta Dhanurasana, developing mobility and coordination while maintaining stability through the spine and legs.
  • Chinstand variations, cultivating back strength, neck awareness, and elegant entries and exits from inversion to backbend.

This workshop is designed for practitioners who want to move beyond static poses and explore arm balances and backbends as a continuous, evolving flow. Emphasis is placed on joint safety, intelligent sequencing, and the relationship between effort and release.

Suitable for intermediate to advanced practitioners with experience in arm balances, inversions, and backbends.
