5 /5 Francesca Crowe: Inversion workshop with Rachael Mellican. The workshop was excellent. Rachael gave a clear explanation of what we would be doing and delivered it in a warm and friendly way that put everyone at ease. The warm up was well judged and was enough to prepare us without leaving anyone depleted of energy.
The main part of the session focused on headstands, forearm balances and handstands. The demonstrations were clear and easy to follow, and the pace was just right. There was good variety and progression built in, so those still using a wall for support could work safely while others could explore their freestanding balance.
It is rare to find someone who puts so much thought into a workshop yet makes it feel so effortless. Rachael’s attention to detail, supportive approach and great sense of humour made it a genuinely enjoyable and rewarding experience.
