Highway to Headstand
Saturday 8 February 2025 | 2:30 - 4:30 pm | Richard Knight | £35
Keen to invert but stuck with your feet on the ground? Not quite sure how to get from crow to tripod headstand? Not sure what on earth a tripod headstand is?!
Join Richard for this fun and accessible workshop, in which we will –
- Discuss the reasons why we invert;
- Look at different types of headstand & their variants;
- Break down how to build the strength, mobility and – above all – the confidence to take – your practice upside down.
*Suitable for all levels – whether you have no inversion experience or you’re a confident headstander looking to lift up into side crow!
*Please NOTE – this workshop is focused on headstand and variations, so we won’t be looking at forearm stand or handstand in detail.
About Richard Knight
Dynamic Flow, Vinyasa, Rocket, Nidra and Yin Yoga Teacher
The practice of yoga is central to Richard’s life; he became a teacher so he could share with others all that the practice brought into his life.
Drawing on the various lineages of vinyasa yoga, Richard’s teaching combines the discipline of ashtanga vinyasa with the creativity of rocket. In contrast and complement to the dynamic classes, he leads meditations and teaches a mindful and restorative style of yin yoga. He also offers an accessible chair flow, adapted to suit people of all ages, bodies and abilities, consistent with his belief that yoga truly is for every body.
Focusing on the connection between mind and body, Richard’s classes interweave yoga philosophy with creative sequencing. He holds space in a playful and supportive manner so students feel safe to explore – and sometimes to fall! Expect to be challenged and inspired in both body and mind, and know that no visit to the mat is ever wasted.
In addition to studio classes, Richard offers regular workshops and several international retreats each year. He believes that retreats and workshops are spaces to cultivate the community that is central to his teaching and for his students to explore the practice more holistically.
Off the mat, Richard lives in south east London and is a celebrant, delivering bespoke and unforgettable weddings and funerals.
