Flight, Flow & Form is a 20-hour Chaitanya Vinyasa intensive for yoga teachers and experienced practitioners looking to deepen both their practice and understanding of advanced movement. We begin with Form, developing the mobility, strength and physical capacity required for a more expansive practice; move into Flight, applying those foundations to arm balances and handstands; and finish with Flow, exploring transitions and how these skills can be integrated intelligently into Vinyasa.
Throughout the weekend, we will explore progressions, refinement, observation and hands-on application, bridging the gap between experiencing a skill and understanding how to share it with others. A consistent yoga practice is recommended, but participants do not need to already be able to perform advanced arm balances or handstands.
Training schedule:
Friday - FORM
13:00–15:00 - Chaitanya Vinyasa Practice
An opening practice introducing the principles of the weekend through mobility,
strength, active range and movement exploration.
15:00–15:30 - Break
15:30–18:30 - Mobility for Advanced Practice
Exploring the physical foundations behind more complex asana, including hip
mobility and rotation, compression, spinal and shoulder mobility, active flexibility and
strength at end range. We will look at how different physical limitations influence the
way we experience and approach postures.
Saturday - FLIGHT
08:00–10:00 - Chaitanya Vinyasa Practice
A progressive practice preparing the body for arm balances, inversions and
weight-bearing through the hands.
10:00–10:30 - Break
10:30–13:00 - Arm Balances
Technique, weight transfer, compression, pushing mechanics, progressions and
different approaches to balancing on the hands.
13:00–14:00 - Lunch Break
14:00–17:00 - Handstand Fundamentals
Understanding balance upside down through alignment, shoulder mechanics, weight
distribution, entries, drills, spotting and progressive skill development.
Sunday - FLOW
08:00–10:00 - Chaitanya Vinyasa Practice
A dynamic practice integrating the physical qualities and skills explored throughout
the weekend.
10:00–10:30 - Break
10:30–13:00 - Arm Balance Transitions
Exploring how to connect arm balances and other asana through weight transfer,
creative entries and exits, and progressively more complex transitions.
13:00–14:00 - Lunch Break
14:00–17:00 - Integration, Refinement & Teaching Application
Bringing the principles of Form, Flight & Flow together through partner work,
observation, hands-on adjustments, refinement and practical teaching application.
We will explore how to adapt progressions to different bodies and how to translate
personal experience into clearer, more relevant teaching.
