This month’s Level Up! series is all about discovering freedom through strength, mobility, and technique. From spine-opening backbends to gravity-defying arm balances and hip-focused splits — we’re taking your practice to new heights, one shape at a time.
Strong Spine, Open Heart: Mermaid & Flip Grip
📍 HV Studio | Sunday, 9 Nov | 11am – 1pm | with Linh H.
Discover the strength, space, and freedom that backbends can offer in this energizing workshop. You’ll build back-body strength, open the chest, and increase shoulder mobility through purposeful drills and mindful movement. We’ll safely prepare for deeper expressions like Mermaid and King Pigeon. Whether you’re exploring these shapes for the first time or refining your approach, you’ll leave with the tools to move into them with greater confidence and ease.
Uncover the Secrets Behind Arm Balances
📍 OF Studio | Sunday, 16 Nov | 3:30pm – 5:30pm | with Jan O.
Ready to take flight? In this workshop, you’ll break down the two key shapes that form the foundation for most arm balances. Learn the mechanics behind poses like 8-Angle, EPK2, Flying Crow, and Flying Pigeon through targeted strength and balance drills. Perfect for anyone looking to build confidence balancing on your arms, this session will help you lift off with power, control, and clarity.
Slide into Splits (BYO Socks)
📍 CR Studio | Saturday, 22 Nov | 10am – 12pm | with Eunice L.
Unlock your hips, lengthen your hamstrings, and slide your way into stronger, safer front splits. This one’s all about building flexibility the smart way — through mobility drills, deep stretches, and mindful alignment. Whether you’re just starting or looking to find more depth, you’ll leave feeling more open, mobile, and confident in your body’s range. Remember: we’re not forcing flexibility — we’re stretching with purpose.
From Wild Thing to Wheel
📍 OF Studio | Sunday, 23 Nov | 3:30pm – 5:30pm | with Azra R.
Find the connection between two powerful heart-openers — Wild Thing and Wheel. Through targeted drills, shoulder mobility work, and deep back-body engagement, you’ll create the stability and space needed to move between these poses seamlessly. Expect to strengthen, open, and experience freedom through your shoulders and spine — and maybe surprise yourself with how fluid your backbends can feel.
