Grasshopper brings together a deep twist, hip opening, arm balance, and controlled weight shift in a pose that challenges both mobility and coordination.

The key to approaching Grasshopper is understanding how these different elements connect. Hip flexibility and spinal rotation help create the shape of the pose, while shoulder stability and core engagement provide the support needed to shift your weight forward and find balance. When each component is developed individually, the final pose can begin to feel much more approachable.

Grasshopper Workshop is a 75-minute beginner-friendly workshop that takes you through these elements progressively, giving you time to understand both the preparation and technique behind the pose.

You'll work through targeted mobility exercises for the hips and spine, strength and stability drills for the shoulders and core, and progressive Grasshopper variations that introduce weight shifting, positioning, and balance in manageable stages. Each progression is designed to help you recognise where your body needs mobility, where it needs stability, and how to bring both together as you work towards lift-off.

The focus is not on forcing your way into the final pose, but on developing the skills that support a stronger and more confident arm balance practice. With different options offered throughout, you can explore Grasshopper at a level that suits your current experience.

Whether Grasshopper is completely new to you or already part of your practice, you'll leave with a better understanding of the pose, greater confidence in your technique, and practical drills you can use to continue building towards it.
