Prepare Your Shoulders for Inversions!

Ready to take your practice upside down? Inversions require more than just core strength—they demand open, stable, and resilient shoulders. In this session, we dive into targeted drills to improve your overhead range of motion and strengthen the stabilizing muscles of the shoulder girdle. Whether you are working toward your first handstand or looking to refine your forearm balance, these drills will help you build the "shoulder shelf" needed for a safe and steady inversion practice.
