Inverted State of Mind 25-HR CET with Miles Mortensen

This 25-HR CET program brings together the different areas of passion in Miles’ personal practice with the aim of providing you with a comprehensive approach to developing and progressing your asana practice while enhancing your knowledge around strength, flexibility, and mobility.

For teachers, this program will provide a more thorough understanding of how to support their students better and assist them in overcoming their barriers, while for the practitioners, it will help them gain crucial insight into how to create effective road maps to work towards their own personal practice goals.

Miles' aim is to share the knowledge that he uses both in his personal practice as well as with his private clients to help you build a healthy and sustainable practice, avoid injury, overcome plateaus and progress in your chosen areas.

You will learn the following:

• Backbending - How to train your backbends with specific conditioning exercises aimed at helping you build openness, stability and awareness into your spine
• Transition - Weaving together more intermediate/advanced postures in arm balances and inversions
• Handstand - Using gymnastic techniques, develop the knowledge of how to train your handstand
• Strength training + skill development - Learn how to build strength effectively to complement your yoga practice, helping you to unlock poses as well as the science of skill development, allowing you to train efficiently.
• Flexibility & mobility - Learn different methods of stretching to develop both strength and flexibility in postures, such as middle splits, front splits, and general shoulder mobility and how to structure short but effective training programs to access these postures.
