What to expect?

This four-day workshop will introduce you to the ancient art form of hair suspension. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, together you will work on mobilising, strengthening and stabilising your body so that you can apply the technique of hair suspension in a healthy way. This workshop will be taught in English.

• Comprehensive introduction: Get a theoretical and practical understanding of the intricate details of hair suspension required for this discipline. Learn the importance of alignment, strength and mobility.
• Overview of postural health: Explore the theoretical foundations of postural health and understand the underlying systems involved in hanging techniques.
• Functional exercises: Do specially designed exercises to prepare your body. Strengthen internal muscles and release tension so that you are physically ready for the hair suspension practice.
• Practical hanging sessions: Immerse yourself in hands-on hair suspension sessions focusing on posture and emotional awareness. Explore methods to keep the hanging free of tension, using breathing and vocalisation to improve fluidity of movement.
