Intro to Contortion workshop
Intro to Contortion workshop is ideal for those that are already familiar with flexibility training practice (stretching, yoga, dancing, martial arts...), and want to get a taste of contortion. In this workshop Serchmaa will walk you through a routine that covers full body flexibility and inversion practice. You will also get targeted and personalized exercises based on your abilities, and practice beginner friendly contortion routines. This is a great opportunity for anyone that wants on hands training experience with a renown contortion coach. Also, bring your goals in mind, and don't be shy to share them with Serchmaa! She loves working 1-1 with all students attending the workshop. If you have a flexible lower body, you are a good hand balancer but you have limited mobility in your back, this workshop is also ideal for you! Serchmaa is a wizard in helping her students to become hand balancers, no matter their back flexibility. So, do not miss this opportunity!

Advanced workshop
This workshop calls for everyone that trains contortion regularly, or you are naturally very flexible (see note below under requirements). In this workshop Serchmaa will walk you through basic conditioning, legs and back warming routines. Once warmed, the group will work on targeted drills and practice contortion routines. You will also work your inversions (contortion handstands). If you are a contortionist, you probably know that Serchmaa is expert on one arm HS, contortion push ups and many more amazing flexible hand balancing skills. This workshop has a reduced size of students, since Serchmaa likes to have personal time with each student.
