"The workshop was fun and fabulous.  And that adds up to AbFab!" - Bruce

"The handstand workshop was amazing! Within 4 days of receiving a
fistful of handstand seeds, my handstand blossomed into its full, free
standing form for the first time ever!" - Crazy Shakti Yogi Read

"I love B.J.'s upbeat and playful approach to teaching handstands.  She easily creates the craving for "more", even after two straight hours of various attempts of standing on one's hands.  The very first yoga class I took after BJ's workshop I had a personal best moment of sticking an unassisted handstand in the middle of the room. Thanks BJ for feeding my garden of handstand addiction with such knowledgeable seeds." - Amber

"I LOVED the workshop!!!  I loved everything about it! I got some questions answered and definitely made progress in my handstand- especially piking up.   One of my students was there, and when she came to my class on Tuesday we were both still buzzing about it.  We even stayed late and played a little more..  you’ve changed my handstand forever! thank you so much!!!" - Lara

"I had great fun at the handstand workshop;  I find handstands to be endlessly amusing. I loved your enthusiasm, your openess, and your clear desire that everyone enjoy and benefit from the class. I appreciate how much every single exercise has served to improve the foundation of my handstand work in some way.....Everything that we did has helped my handstands tremendously, and I had a lot of fun. It was a great way to spend part of my Sunday afternoon.  Thanks for creating that opportunity!" - David


"I crossed a new threshold from throwing my legs up the wall 1 out of 10 times,  to successfully kicking up from a place of integration and lightness." - Debbie

"I totally enjoyed the handstand workshop and would come to your next one for sure.  The workshop was upbeat, fun, not too difficult, and very informative."-Carol

"The handstand class was wonderful. I had some anxiety about "hanging in there" for two hours, but the way you broke the pose down into its component parts made it manageable, and it added tremendously to my understanding of this marvelous asana. I say bravo to the whole experience! "- Dan

"I had a GREAT time doing handstands in your workshop and I will definitely sign up for ANY workshops you put on including any Handstand 2 Workshops.  Your workshop definitely gave me some new tools to work at.  I am facing all of the various ways of getting into handstands coming from fun first, heck you can only smile and laugh about it, and just go for it!  I really liked all the various ways you come at doing handstands.  The two hours just flew by.  Thank you for such a wonderfully fun workshop. You just radiate “fun”! - Pam

"I very much enjoyed your workshop; the other day I practiced one of the handstand variations...I am glad I took a few notes on each of the variations to help me remember...I am a middleaged yogini after all!
I loved your overall very welcoming spirit, sense of humor and lightness, and the clear and simple presentation of the theme and  the instructions...You generated so much love and joy and spirit of adventure in us. I got some fine points of alignment and action that were very, very helpful and no one had ever taught it in a way that I received and understood in my body as well as with you." - MaryAnn
 

"..y
our workshop has been the first "workshop" which I really felt like I got something out of. I was practicing handstand for the rest of the day! (I love handstand). I learned a lot of helpful things."
 - Hannah

"I got some good insights and had a lot of FUN in the process!"
- Joni

"I thoroughly enjoyed your workshop.  It was fantastic."
-Carmen

"I enjoyed you, your enthusiasm and skill (awesome) and I also learned a lot from your workshop.  I am now encouraged to work on my own to be able to kick up and feel comfortable up side down."
-Elaine

"Your class today was a  smash..everyone got something to take away and had so much fun..transcending  all the ideas about going upside down. Thank you so much  for supporting me and playing and just holding the Light and space... "
-Marlene

"I felt like I made some strides and I am super motivated to work on handstands. You are so encouraging and beautiful, and I honestly believe people made some real break throughs, whether they know it or not - we were upside down for two hours! Who does that?! Everybody had a great time."
-Meagan

"The handstand workshop was so much fun! It felt awesome to be surrounded by the group's beautiful energy. I think everyone stepped out of the their boundaries and felt like a rock star. As you could see I did!"
-Melissa

"Me gusto muchisimo el taller que nos distes."
-Nicoletta

"Besides the delight on the faces of everyone as they reached new heights (literally), the most significant thing to me is how effectively you convey the 'message' verbally and otherwise.  You are infectious!  You are able somehow to inspire and get us to overcome the fear (& loathing) of the unknown.  There were several times today that I (and others I'm sure) thought no way and then tried it anyway. Your style of teaching is totally unique and amazing!"
-Debbie

"I really liked the workshop. I find that I try things and keep trying, then occasionally a piece falls into place and I am there.I always have fun when you teach, that's why I got brave enough to go for 2 full hours of inversion."
-Harriett

"I really enjoyed your workshop - I did so many handstands that day, it really opened up my shoulders."
-Julie

"The workshop was fantastic.  You make yoga intricacies accessible.  The time dedicated to this exhilarating pose felt very short and went very fast.  What I liked the best was the atmosphere you created, inspiring and empowering.  You made me feel that "things" are possible."
-Sergio

"I had a wonderful time; thank you so much. I really enjoyed the material, the atmosphere and the energy of your class as well as the people attending."
-Jon

"I think meeting you and attending the handstand workshop has been an important step in my journey. I liked how you organized the presentation from the foundation, about Vira and Lila, and how each step was preparation for the next. When I left the workshop I felt like my body was super light.  I knew I was driving home in a car, but I  felt like my body was gliding.  At first I thought, "maybe Im light headed from being upside down!". ....but it was not a feeling like that.  It was just a lightness of being and what I think the sensation of "brightness" must be. It was some thing I have never felt before."
-Tracy

"It was a great workshop  - lots of fun, light and still a lot of work.  I loved the way you eased us into handstands, very non-threatening. You made everything seem do-able!"
-Judith

"I absolutely loved it. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more workshops!!"
-Molly

"I enjoyed the workshop completely. You created a safe space to open to my fear places."
-Carolyn
