Arm balances and inversions are liberating postures that build strength & balance while teaching us about playfulness, trust and skillful engagement to find stillness in motion. But the reality is arm balance postures and inversions can be intimidating and often people think they are out of their reach. The truth is it’s a lot about physics and preparation and by applying a few key principles, most people are able to find an arm balance that is within their reach. And practicing arm balances is a lot of fun!

Building a sustainable practice with the Yogi Flight method

In these (2) individual, 2-hour sessions, Julia will introduce you to the principles of the Yogi Flight Method so you can balance with more ease than ever before.

We will begin with the fundamentals, highlighting the crucial steps needed to be successful in any inversion or arm balance posture. Then we’ll move right into a Vinyasa practice with sequences and conscious movement designed to engage key muscle groups and get your body doing the actions of the poses before taking it upside down into a balance pose. Once we are properly warmed up, it’s playtime! In the first session, we will practice some fundamental inversions such as Tripod & Sirsasana Headstand and in the second session we will practice arm balance postures such as Crow Pose and Side Crow. We’ll focus on reinforcing alignment, preparation and technique, while maintaining a sense of playfulness so that our effort and discipline is balanced with ease. You can expect to receive plenty of feedback and 1:1 adjustments to help you. We’ll wrap it up with some stretching and a well-deserved Savasana.

Transform your relationship with fear and self-doubt, build better balance and gain the freedom to flow into inversions and arm balance postures in your daily practice. You just might surprise yourself!

Julia Voellmecke

Julia’s yoga journey began in Germany while she was pregnant with her first son. She loved the way Yoga strengthened her physical and mental health and how Yoga prepared her for the new chapter in her life. In the summer of 2022, Julia moved to the Outer Banks from Germany with her husband and two sons. She completed her 220-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the Amalam School of Yoga at Outer Banks Yoga with Anne Howard. Immersed in yoga philosophy, breathwork and the asanas, Julia cultivated a strong yoga practice, feeling empowered both on and off the mat. With a taste for arm balances, Julia made it her goal to unlock the fundamentals of these elusive postures. In September 2024, she discovered the Yogi Flight School and enrolled in their 100-hour continuing education course. Through the Yogi Flight Method, Julia learned what it takes to fly and experienced empowering breakthroughs in her own arm balance practice. The Yogi Flight Method is a well established program that strategically prepares (any) body to fly and Julia is now trained and inspired to help students fly with confidence and believe in themselves both on and off their mats.
