Contortion classes focus on building or refining a sustainable and strong backbend/contortion practice. While contortion can be a scary word, think of this as an exploration of deeper flexibility with a focus on building strength and active flexibility. Each class is 60 minutes long with Q&A after, and you will have the option to join live and/or practice with the recording.
Every class will include a total body warm up, strength and conditioning work, and specific flexibility drills. While each month has a unique focus, you can usually expect to see variations of cobra, lunge, bow, wheel, scorpion, chest stand, camels, and more. Almost all classes include splits and oversplits.
Prerequisite: confidence lifting into wheel pose and some form of consistent movement practice (or have taken Intro to Contortion)

Handstand classes focus on building overall strength, balance, awareness, and relevant flexibility for improving your handstands. While every month has a unique focus, Irene will always include foundational exercises like chest to wall handstands. Each class is 60 minutes long with Q&A after, and you will have the option to join live and/or practice with the recording.
Every class will include a total body warm up, strength and flexibility drills, and conditioning exercises. There will be a variety of drills both on and off the wall to cater to all students, handstand based skill work, and plenty of supplemental strength and flexibility exercises.
Prerequisite: 45-60+ second chest to wall handstand and the ability to jump up into a handstand even if you can't hold it long.
Props for all classes: mat, wall space, 2 or more blocks, blanket or towel, strap, socks, occasionally additional props like a chair or elevated surface may be used. Resistance bands and light weights optional. Not all props will be used every class but it’s a good idea to have them available!
