A must for teachers or those looking to deepen their knowledge about the human body and its functionalities.
Yoga: Inversions and Side Flexions
Friday, Sep 19th
This workshop will focus on lateral flexion (side bends), and how to improve your range to have better inversions and arm balances. Side bending is the least practiced spinal move. Flexion (forward bends) and extension (backbends) are far more common, yet improving side bends will support both, and take your practice to a new level. We’ll work on connecting with the ‘belt’ between ribcage and hips (lats, QL, obliques, transverse abs and rectus abdomini), gain freedom of movement and discover new stability points for Handstand and Pincha Mayurasana. Very interesting and unique poses will be covered!
Effortless Handstands: Alignment, Drills & Floats
Saturday, Sep 20th
This very thorough and comprehensive workshop is filled with information and drills on how to open your shoulders to have a real straight line, how to lock ribcage and pelvis, engage legs and be able to balance. We’ll also cover compression and dissociation exercises to be able to press into Handstand, work on the “negatives” (coming down slowly from Handstand), and we’ll play with different leg shapes to improve strength and balancing skills. Come ready to spend time upside down, do floor conditioning and lots of abs!
Yoga: Active Hip Openers
Saturday, Sep 20th
Often, hip openers are taught too statically, with no breath emphasis or flow, but there’s a lot of room for exploration, movement and active strengthening that can enhance the difficult process of “unlocking the hips”. This workshop will cover various elements to articulate and actively release the hips, while preserving the integrity of other lower joints, like knees or ankles. We will dive into postures like Eka Pada Sirsasana, Yogidandasana, squats, arm balances or linking those with inversions. Everyone hits a wall, so this workshop is relevant to all levels.

Yoga: Hip Flexors, Psoas And Abs’ Role For Backbends
Sunday, Sep 21st
Carmen is known for helping her students find space in their backbends, go deeper than ever, without any discomfort. In this workshop we will: (1) work on shoulder mobility, respecting the integrity of that joint; (2) bend thoracic spine in conjunction with cervical extension and lumbar strengthening, (3) activate and lengthen hip flexors, analyzing the role of the abdominal wall, obliques, gluts and the relationship between pelvis and spine. This workshop is for everyone but highly recommended if you usually run into low back compression or lack of strength. You’ll gain important insights into which part of your anatomy may need to readjust to move forward in your backbend journey.
Asana Clinic: In-Depth Spine, Hips & Shoulders Study
Sunday, Sep 21st
This workshop is 50% theory, 50% practice. We’ll break down the main limitations people have when it comes to backbends & hip openers, how to give a proper assessment and what drills, postures and variations would be most beneficial for each case. Just as no 2 students are the same, no 2 backbends, or hip openers, are the same either. Ideal for teaches or those looking to develop a sharp eye and understand their mechanics.
cYoga Adjustments For Backbends

Yoga: Twists & Forearm Stand
In this first, only-asana, workshop, will focus on all abs’ layers, lats, QL, proper engagement, unique arm balances and spinal rotations. We’ll break down several “active” twists (no-bind), as well as more “passive” ones (binding), understanding the differences between them and how to maximize rotation & compression. We’ll also find some upside down time to put it all together. By unlocking this kind of range, a lot of overall stability and strength will be quickly gained.
Friday, Sep 26th
Adjustments For Backbends & Inversions
In this packed adjustments’ workshop we will cover the biggest (and probably scariest) families of asanas: backbends and handstands. Despite appearances, these 2 families have a lot of elements in common and can help each other tremendously. We’ll study proper form for spine, hips & shoulders, main limitations, do’s and dont’s and how to individualize different variants for each student. Ideal to take this with the other adjustments’ workshops as concepts will build up and we’ll work on different asanas.

This is one of the most unique sessions that’ll make us look at our legs from a new vantage point and maximize their potency.
Saturday, Sep 27th
Yoga: Hips & Hamstrings
This workshop will cover the elements necessary to actively mobilize hips and hamstrings in a safe way, protecting knees, while involving some of the strongest muscles (gluts, flexors, adductors, obliques…). We’ll visit both internal (IR) and external (ER) hip rotation in a non-threatening, multilevel way, so that poses like Yogidandasana (aka, foot-to-armpit) or Eka Pada Sirsasana (leg behind the head) will be part of your repertoire.
Effortless Handstand & Inversions: Line, Drills & Jumps
This workshop will focus on a variety of entries into Handstand & Pincha, drills, as well as partner work, to improve endurance, alignment and end of range, without sacrificing stability. We’ll pay especial attention to shoulder flexion, scapular elevation, thoracic isolation and pelvic tilts. We’ll also look for individual blind spots that prevent you from advancing in our Handstand or Pincha practice.
Restorative Movement
This unique workshop uses gentle movement pattern re-conditioning techniques developed by Dr. Feldenkrais. Our goal is to create opportunities for clear sensory input via gentle and repetitive exercises in order to aid the nervous system to develop new motor adaptations for every day movement. The entire workshop is based on gentle pattern re-conditioning, spending most of the time on the floor exploring how it feels when our bodies move.
Sunday, Sep 28th
Yoga: Backbends, Finding More Thoracic Movement, Shoulder Flexion & Lumbar Support
This workshop will heavily focus on proper spinal segmentation, understanding the role of the scapulas as well as TVA & psoas. We’ll work on plenty of specific isolated moves before putting things together with asanas like Eka Pada Rajakapotasana or Scorpions. If your mid back feels ‘rigid’, your low back or shoulders ‘hurt’, or you ‘can’t find’ your abs when you do backbends, this class is for you!
Handstands, Presses, Core & Abs
This workshop will pay special attention to hip flexion, quads and psoas, in order to hover, tuck, compress or press into Handstand or Pincha. Expect floor drills, wall and partner collab, as well as a thorough wrists’ warm up, quads’ activation and a break down of the different shoulder positions required. The workshop is for all levels but ideal for those that can kick by themselves into Handstand against a wall.
Sound Bath: Physical and Mental Release
When reaching full body relaxation with the help of sound, we offer an opportunity to the nervous system to reset and recover areas that require healing. Once physical relaxation is achieved, we will use chakra energy to release and relax the mind.

YTT MODULE
Nov 5th, Wed to 9th, Sun
ATHENS, GREECE
This 40hr YTT MODULE is a most unique experience because of its focus and practicality. Besides a DAILY 2HR PRACTICE with Carmen, the rest of the hours will be solely dedicated to HANDS-ON ADJUSTMENTS as well as HOW TO TEACH HANDSTANDS from beginners to advanced hand balancers.
Highlights of what we’ll be covering are:
-
DAILY YOGA CLASSES with a different theme and peak poses
-
Dozens of assists and ANATOMICAL EXPLANATIONS for backbends, hip openers, spinal rotations, lateral flexions, arm balances and all inversions
-
Precise exercises to INCREASE ROM along thoracic spine & promote correct segmentation
-
Specific upper body work to increase SHOULDER CIRCUMDUCTION (for all kind of asanas) and power (for Handstands and arm balances)
-
Correct WRIST & ELBOW manipulation for Handstands
-
Tapping into the ABS POWER, especially TVA, obliques & psoas
-
Daily sessions dedicated extensively to HANDSTANDS THEORY, alignment, anatomy, as well as dozens of DRILLS, from the most fundamental ones to others more specific, depending on the student’s level and personal difficulties.
Doing handstands is not the same as being able to teach handstands. Doing deep backbends is not the same as being able to break them down and safely assist students into them, and that’s why this training IS NOT TO BE MISSED!
This is a once-a-year-opportunity (if that!) and is geared towards teachers and practitioners that want to DEEPEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE about anatomy, know how to give great adjustments and have a clear path on how to advance in the endless Handstand ocean of drills and tips.

TALLER DE FIN DE SEMANA
14 a 16 de Noviembre
MADRID
Taller de Ajustes: El Ajuste Perfecto
Viernes, Nov 14, HH:MM-HH:MM
En este taller descubriremos los elementos esenciales para crear el ajuste perfecto. Desde la posición del ajustador, la colocación y uso de las manos, el uso de tu propio peso y estructura ósea, cómo leer cuando parar, cuando aguantar peso y cuando dejar ir, cómo identificar la parte del cuerpo que está haciendo mas esfuerzo y cómo leer las lineas de energía en el asana. El taller es sumamente práctico, ayudándonos a encontrar nuestro estilo durante la clase.
Taller de Ajustes: Ajustando Equilibrio y Transiciones
Viernes, Nov 14, HH:MM-HH:MM
De los tres elementos de una posición de yoga, fuerza, flexibilidad y equilibrio, el equilibrio es el mas complejo de ajustar. El maestro debe ser sutil, imperceptible, como si el estudiante estuviese practicando sólo, desarrollando sus propia percepción de movimiento y permitiendo que su sistema nervioso tenga una experiencia lo más parecida a ejecutar la posición sin ajustador.
Yoga: Torsiones, Trabajo de Oblicuos & Balances en los Brazos
Viernes, Nov 14, HH:MM-HH:MM
En este primer taller de puro asana nos enfocaremos en todas la capas abdominales, especialmente oblícuos, latissimus y QL, necesarios para desbloquear nuestras rotaciones y tener acceso fácil a balances en los brazos e invertidas. Descompondremos varios twists más “activos” (sin enlace) así como pasivos (enlazando), entiendo las diferencias entre ellos y cómo maximizar rotación y compresión. También practicaremos invertidas en las que aplicaremos las lecciones aprendidas. Cuando mejoramos este rango de movimiento, tendremos acceso a un nuevo nivel de estabilidad y fuerza que nos ayudará en el resto de nuestra práctica.
Yoga: Apertura de Caderas Activa
Sábado, Nov 15, HH:MM-HH:MM
Este taller cubre los elementos necesarios para movilizar las caderas de una forma segura, sintiéndote fuerte, protegiendo rodillas y tobillos a la vez que involucrando algunos de los músculos más fuertes del cuerpo (glúteos, flexores, adductores,…). Visitaremos la rotación interna (IR) y externa (ER) de la pelvis de una forma asequible, multinivel, para que posturas como Yogidandasana (pie a la axila) o Eka Pada Sirsasana (pierna detrás de la cabeza) serán parte de tu repertorio. Todo el mundo encuentra una pared tarde o temprano así que este taller es relevante para todos los niveles. Ven a explorar!
Handstands para Todos: Alineación, Ejercicios Específicos y cómo Flotar
Sábado, Nov 15, HH:MM-HH:MM
Taller super dinámico, lleno de ejercicios, información, ideas, modificaciones y deberes con los que podrás continuar tu camino hacia la parada de manos de una forma más eficiente y cometiendo menos errores. Trabajaremos en la flexión de hombros para tener una linea recta, cómo cerrar costillas, tiltear pelvis, activar piernas y crear balance. Jugaremos con distintas posiciones de piernas para mejorar fuerza y propiocepción y cubriremos conceptos como compresión y disociación con ejercicios claros y precisos que te ayudarán en tu camino hacia el “press”. También habrá trabajo abdominal para cuajar esa tableta de chocolate.
Meditación: Objetivo o Herramienta
Sábado, Nov 15, HH:MM-HH:MM
Durante este taller, exploraremos como la intención con la que planteamos la sesión cambia nuestra actitud durante la meditación. Cuando nos tomamos la meditación como un objetivo, calmar la mente es el principio y el fin. Cuando la tomamos como herramienta, una mente en calma es solamente el principio y el fin viene determinado por el objetivo que nos ponemos nosotros mismos. Exploraremos estas dos dinámicas, como mejor prepararnos para cada una y como sacar el mayor partido de cada situación.
Yoga: Arcos Profundos y sin Dolor
Domingo, Nov 16, HH:MM-HH:MM
Las clases de arcos de Carmen son de las más populares porque sus alumnos pueden llegar más lejos que nunca sin sentir dolor.

Este taller es para todos los niveles pero especialmente recomendado para aquellos que sienten dolor en la parte lumbar, hombros o no pueden acceder la espalda media. Posturas como Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, variantes de Urdhva Dhanurasana y escorpión serán algunos de los asanas que desglosaremos. Saldrás con nuevos ejercicios que podrás incorporar inmediatamente en tu práctica para avanzar tus arcos con confianza y facilidad.
