FULL NINJA EXPERIENCE
You’ve seen some arm balances and inversions in yoga class and thought to yourself, “I can’t do that.”
Or you’ve been given a few cues that don’t quite click so you start to believe that it’s going to take you forever to learn or that your body just doesn’t work that way.
People make it look so easy, but no one really explains HOW?! to get your body into these shapes!!
So you try, and the fear of hurting yourself or the idea of failing over and over again keeps you from practicing consistently.
And yet...there’s something about the freedom, the power and the beauty of these poses that keeps pulling you back. You want to achieve them.
Yoga classes give you less than 3 minutes to work on these complex poses and they usually just call out a weird pose name and you're left looking around the room trying to figure out WTF is going on.
Maybe you're learning from YouTube or Instagram where it's like they expect you to be super flexible before you can even try "Step 1" of their tutorial.
So NATURALLY you start thinking that you're just not strong or flexible enough or that your arms are too short, you're just not advanced enough or your hips are too heavy and it's going to take forever to make any progress.
I get why you would think that way, but the problem isn't what you think.
People worry their wrists aren't strong enough; but your wrists aren't holding you up. The strength comes from your hands and forearms.
Practicing hand activation techniques for arm balances builds all the strength you need and prevents wrist pain.
Flexibility is helpful, but doesn't limit you as much as you think.
With strategic warmups, modifications and practice, most people gain enough flexibility quickly. Check out our ninja below modifying a pose to fit his tight hamstrings, and flying his butt off!
If we could really be "too old" or unfit to learn this stuff, then hundreds of our students in their 50s and 60s would be wasting their time. Instead - they're flying, like Diane here at 62.
The process of preparing for arm balances with proper strategic warmup targets the exact muscles you need to fly WHILE making you stronger and more flexible.
Doing more push-ups will make you better at push-ups, not arm balances.
Check out our lovely student Ai-Lean below who learned Koundinyasana B (Hurdler's Pose) last year, when she thought she didn't have the strength for it.
6 months later her pose was flying higher for sure, but she was flying back then too!!!
We make up stories about not being "x" enough to do something, and the stories we tell become true.
But let me ask - would you rather argue for your limitations or for your possibilities??
Saying you’re too unfit, too old, too weak or too stiff to do something that helps with strength, mobility, flexibility and fitness...is like saying you’re too dirty to take a shower!
The only thing you haven't had up until now, is clear instruction that makes sense. Everything else comes from practice.
The first thing that gets to change is the story in your mind about what you can and cannot do.
That's our jam around here. Are you ready?
No matter your size or shape, you have your own balance tipping point. When you find that tipping point, strength is almost irrelevant.
What matters is knowing the details of what to do and how, and being willing to stand in the fire and turn fear into excitement!
The process of learning to stand upside down teaches you how to stand upside down.
There is no pre-requisite other than choosing to begin!
Have you ever heard the saying how you do one thing is how you do everything?
What happens on your mat also happens everywhere else in your life.
Where else are you waiting to be better/stronger/richer before you go for what you want?
If you're afraid to fall, what risks are are you not taking in your life and what are you missing out on?
What's possible for you when you choose to face your fear and prove to yourself that you're worthy and capable is life changing!!
With the fail-proof method we teach, drills, warmups and step-by-step instructions to learn to fly in a logical and safe way, your success is inevitable!
"I was new-ish to yoga and a complete beginner at inversions and arm balances. I was balancing on my hands within a week, doing headstands away from the wall within 2 weeks, now working on poses I *never* thought I would be able to do. It is a falsehood that you need to be super strong, super flexible or super slim to do these amazing poses. Good coaching, the right technique and the right instruction is what's needed. I have seen videos and photos of ALL kinds of people (different shapes, sizes, ages, abilities) on the YFS FB Group absolutely smashing their false beliefs. And now I'm one of them!"
- Jess B.
"Your mindset video was the tipping point. I realized I was stuck in a mindset of having to be thinner and stronger before I could do the program in order to be successful at the fancy poses. Yup, backwards! So now that I'm on the path, and I'm doing the work in the program, I'm not only seeing incremental successes in the fancy poses, but I'm also seeing a little bit of steady weight loss and feeling stronger and have more stamina. I'm so glad I found you. You are making a positive difference in my life!"
- Laura W.
For me, it's teaching people to stand on their hands (especially people who don't think they can!) and motivating my fellow humans to chase possibility in their lives.
I've been teaching people all over the world to stand on their hands and upside down since 2015. My favorite thing in the world (other than my cats and iced coffee) is watching my students go from "I can't do that" to "holy crap I did it!!" after a few personalized instructions.
It happens every day and I LIVE FOR IT!!! 😭😭😭
When I first started yoga 12 years ago, I was convinced that "I could never" do all the things I saw the yogis around me doing in class.
Handstands, scorpions, forearm stands - I was convinced that my body didn't work that way. I was too stiff and too tight and I just didn't understand how to get my body to do the thing.
Learning to master these poses didn't just change my practice and make the impossible, possible...It changed my LIFE. While while the fancy tricks were fun, it's what I learned about myself on the way there that actually mattered and made the journey worthwhile.
Living in Los Angeles, I had the honor of studying with incredible teachers. I became fascinated with the mechanics of balance, and how simple (not easy!) the poses are when you understand weight-shifting and preparation. And so I created a method that can take virtually anyone from face-planting to flying.
I'm building a tribe of people who believe in themselves, chase their dreams and #stopdropandninja anywhere. An E-RYT 500 with over 5,000 teaching hours, I am committed to your success, to you breaking through your stories of "I can't" and GET that YES YOU CAN.
Don't just take my word for it. When you scroll down this page you'll meet dozens of my students who post their progress inside our members community. Regular (awesome) people like you who decided to drop the stories of "I'm not good enough" and make some cool ass shit happen.
Training arm balances and inversions from the perspective of physics & structure is the most effective way to make fast progress safely.
Ready to own your power on the mat, feel like a true yoga ninja and make those #goals a reality?
You learn very quickly that it has much less to do with strength and flexibility (you don't need more core work!), and much more to do with an intelligently sequenced approach that will have you flying from the very first lesson.
Understand the shape of each pose. Get your body and brain doing the pose with gravity to prepare your nervous system for what it will feel like against gravity.
Super strategic warmup is crucial to get flying. Warm up your entire body (wrists to feet) for the exact actions you need to fly the pose - sun salutations don't cut it!
It's all about structure. Learn how to effectively stack your bones to find the tipping point, and see why "my butt is too heavy" and "my arms are too weak" are just stories, not fact!
Learn how to break through fear and trust yourself to lean in and fly. Liftoff is inevitable when you approach each pose with the YFS Method. This stage is about managing your mind, trusting and developing longer balance.
This is a comprehensive program with a unique methodology and over 83 step-by-step instructional videos, live classes and personalized feedback to demystify over 30 arm balances and inversions and get you upside down and on your hands!
Understand the fundamentals of hand, wrist and finger activation, shoulder stability, joint stacking, weight shifting, gaze, bandhas & core engagement (energy locks) and mindset shifts that will take you from "how the heck" to "yaaass I'm flying!!"
🙋♂️ Aspiring Yoga Ninjas who have been working on arm balances and inversions for a while, but have grown frustrated with putting all the pieces together and never quite "nailing it" (up until now!)

🙋🏽 Intermediate yogis who are ready to take your arm balance and inversion practice to the next level and string multiple arm balances/inversions together

🙋🏾 Non-yoga humans with a playful spirit, a growth mindset and a willingness to try new things!

Yogi Flight School awards you 30 CE (continuing education) credits with the Yoga Alliance and The Association of Yoga Professionals.
Simply request a Certificate of Completion once you complete all of the lessons and register your CE hours.
Like most yoga practitioners (like me!) you could spend years learning how to practice these poses. Eventually, 3 minutes or 1 workshop at a time, you will make progress.
Workshops at local studios usually cost at least $40-$50 per workshop. They will typically teach you 1 or 2 poses.
To learn 30, you'd be attending a lot of workshops and spending $1,200 or more. Once the workshops are over, you don't have feedback or a follow-up on your progress, which is a bummer.
You can hire a coach 1:1. General rates for specialized arm balance training range from $150-$300 per hour. Most people need at least 10+ hours to get comfortable in the majority of these poses, so you're looking at $2,500+.
These options work, but they're pricey and missing the benefits of being part of a community and learning from and with other people!
If you’re like me, you want to make huge leaps in your arm balances without feeling like you’re the only one struggling (you're not!).
You want to have a community of people to geek out with about things most other people don't understand.
Let's face it. No one gets why you want to be a monkey. But....we do!
The only logical solution is to take a specialized training with a community of other people working towards the same goals.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on the sidelines - watching other people (people no different than you!) popping up into poses (or achieving life goals) and doing seemingly impossible things like it ain’t no thang…🙄
...while you’re spinning around in circles, totally frustrated trying your best to figure out what the heck you’re doing wrong and why your arms won’t do that 🤬 and why you can't just stop sabotaging yourself and live your life how you want already, then you're in the right place.
Yes, you'll learn how to stand on your hands, how to unlock complicated poses, how to get out of frustration with your practice, how to be a yoga ninja so you can flow into any pose with ease.
It's exactly the kind of support I wish I had when I started out in this practice, instead of taking 5 years to learn how to handstand - it could have taken me 5 months or less 🤩
“…after watching 2 virtual arm balance workshops with Nathania, I was able to move from Side Crow to Fallen Angel pose for the first time in 8 years of yoga practice. Sure, I got a little bruised and sore but it was totally worth it!”
- Kat N.
“Yogi Flight School is a must for anyone who wants to unlock some of these challenging poses. Unlike a flow class where things keep moving, here you have time to practice, ask questions, and learn from your other yogis. She breaks down each pose, gives you time to figure it out, and offers encouragement along the way. I'm now doing poses that I'd struggled with before. I'm also stronger and more confident in my practice.”
- James S.
“…I used to think inversions weren’t ever going to be in my practice. They seemed kinda scary and inaccessible especially when practicing at home. But thanks to Nathania’s awesome program I can’t stop obsessing over them. Always finding new ways to change my perspective.”
- Erin B.
“...Arm balances are one of those things that I always saw other people do but I never thought that I could. I finally got the fine-tuned instruction I needed and I’m finding myself able to hold crow longer every day, I was able to do side crow, I can do these weird funky arm balances I never thought that I could because of getting that attention. Nathania makes it fun, she laughs, and you get feedback and watch other people progress."
- Laura H.
Trust that with intention and belief in yourself, whatever is stopping you from choosing you will dissipate - a tight budget, a tight schedule, a limiting belief, a job you hate, a relationship that keeps you stuck.
Abundance of possibility is everywhere and stepping into YES opens the door to that abundance. Trust that your intention is the most powerful energy in the world, and you have all the power to create what you want. 💪
As you already know, if you do nothing...then nothing changes. You can keep working on getting stronger, which will make you stronger but won't make you arm balance, and you can make slow progress learning a bit here and there.
If you know that you want to finally nail these challenging poses, gain awesome skills and transform your practice so that you feel confident on your mat and surprise yourself with what’s possible, then the choice is obvious.
If you don’t make it a point to break through your mental blocks, the feeling of inadequacy follows you around and reinforces any existing beliefs you have about being not good enough, strong enough or worthy of doing absolutely ANYTHING you want to do in your life. If you keep waiting for the circumstances to be "just right," life will pass you by.
You deserve to know that you can do anything you set your mind to!
With the right mindset, techniques and support system, you can achieve incredible feats on your hands and upside down in a short time.
Don’t waste another year struggling your way through a yoga class or thinking there's something wrong with you - join us now and start flying TODAY!
