“Micro-Move Like You Mean It” Vinyasa class

yunion Yoga Festival

What happens when you stop rushing through the big movements and start paying attention to the tiny ones?

This playful, curiosity-fuelled vinyasa will take you on a deep dive into joint control, micro-movements and the sneaky ways your body compensates to get the job done. Expect to move, explore, experiment and discover just how much information is hiding in the details.

Because better movement isn’t just about doing more. It’s about noticing more.

The Bendy Brain

yunion Yoga Festival

Explore the quiet intelligence of your stability systems — the things working beneath the surface to help you feel supported, coordinated and in control. For hypermobile bodies, this intelligence can sometimes feel elusive: incredible range of motion, but less certainty about how to own it. But the practices that help a bendy body find support — building proprioception, control and awareness through small, subtle movements — are powerful for every body.

This workshop combines lecture and yoga flow to explore how we build stability from the inside out, learn to listen more deeply, and turn what might feel like a weakness into a superpower.

Puppy Press Playground

yunion Yoga Festival

The puppy press is one of the most accessible ways into a press handstand — but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to unlock!

We’ll break down the ingredients that make it work: shoulder strength, side bending, compression, mobility and straddle handstand technique, with plenty of drills to help you build the pieces and put them together. You’ll leave with practical tools you can take straight into your yoga practice or handstand training.

And because we’re not here to take ourselves that seriously, we’ll also play with cartwheels, get upside down, and generally embrace a little whimsy along the way.

All levels welcome. Come curious, come playful, and be prepared to surprise yourself.

The Art of the Banana Handstand

yunion Yoga Festival

Explore the banana handstand — on purpose. ALL LEVELS WELCOME.

We’ll use hollowback and scorpion handstand variations to deliberately break the “rules” of alignment, helping you feel and understand the relationship between your shoulders, spine and pelvis upside down. Expect plenty of stability work, playful experimentation and tools to bring more control to your handstand, whether backbendy or not. You’ll leave with practical tools you can take straight into your yoga practice or handstand training.

Ankles: Your Body’s Secret Informants

yunion Yoga Festival

Your ankles are doing WAY more than you think.

Explore the surprisingly important role your ankles play in movement, balance, mobility, and your nervous system, and discover why these tiny joints deserve a lot more attention. Expect nerdy revelations, practical drills and plenty of (perhaps new) ankle movements.

You may leave wondering why the hell you weren’t doing these every day.

Your Brain and Your Breath

yunion Yoga Festival

Breath is power—and your brain holds the secret.

We all know mindful breath matters, but did you know different brain areas control different aspects of the breath? In this workshop, we’ll dive deep into the breathing portions of the brain to unlock better range of motion, strength, calm, and stability. Mostly lecture (so grab your notebook!), but bring your mat too—you’ll get to try breathing drills that connect mind and body for real, felt results.
