Learn how your core, hips, and shoulders work together to turn your body upside down. Understand the science behind inversions so you can answer the questions of:

  • When are my shoulders supposed to start closing?
  • What are my hips really doing when I straddle?
  • Why are inversions hard for me?
  • What can I work on to make inversions easier?
