Why you haven’t made the progress you want
Up Until Now
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 wanna do them!
Up until now, your attempts have left you feeling that:
- You’re too old or unfit
- Your wrists and core are too weak
- You’re not strong or flexible enough
- You’re going to hurt yourself
- It takes forever to make meaningful progress
But none of this is actually true.
The TRUTH is that 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 is that really the problem?
Most people think that arm balancing and inverting requires you to be super strong, young, fit and flexible but the truth is:
Balancing on your hands is not about strength, flexibility, fitness or age.
Strength is secondary
You don't even need to be able to do a full push-up to arm balance.
If strength were the factor, how come yogis who have been practicing for years still can't arm balance? They obviously have the strength, so what gives?
It's a skill that relies on the mechanics of balance, which have little to do with strength (more about this later!)
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.
You don't need to build more strength and flexibility before you start learning to fly.
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) when she joined YFS. At the time, she thought she didn't have the strength for it.
A few months later her pose is flying higher for sure, but she was flying back then too!!!
Our limitations are in our heads - they are not fact.
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!
It's not a matter of not being ready or being good enough; it's a matter of how committed you are willing to be.
The only thing you are missing 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?
Balancing on your hands is about structure and physics.
- Stack your bones to defy gravity
-
Activate your palm lock to stabilize your wrists
-
Engage your built-in braking system to prevent falling
-
Ignite your bandhas (energy locks) to feel LIGHT
- Control your center of gravity and tipping point in each arm balance
- Prepare your body to activate the specific muscles for each posture
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!
At Yogi Flight School, we teach regular people how to do seemingly impossible things, and expand what you are capable of forever.
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!!
The only difference between you and the people you see flying on this page is that they decided to give it their all.
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.
Stand for your possibilities, not your limitations.
Here's the thing
3 Minutes in yoga class twice a week isn't going to get you there, or it would have already.
- Trying the same techniques over and over and expecting different results is....well....you know what that is 🤪
- Watching YouTube videos or Instagram tutorials from influencers who are super strong but aren't really teaching is not a training plan if you want results.
- Walking around thinking you aren't good enough, or that you need to "graduate" before you can do something you're interested in just plain sucks.
Training arm balances and inversions from the perspective of physics & structure is the most effective way to make fast progress safely.

Fly!
You’ll be flying faster than you ever thought possible:
“It’s true, you really do make progress on Day 1!”
Whether you’re looking to start, deepen your practice, or just learn cool-ass party tricks…
we got you!
Yogi Flight School is the only arm balance & inversion training that
turns beginners and intermediate yogis into Ninjas in weeks - and we guarantee it!
Whether you’ve been working at this for years or you’re brand-new to yoga...The step-by-step Yogi Flight Method gets you flying from the very first lesson!
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 CLICKS not just in your mind, but in your body.
✅ EVEN IF you've been struggling with specific poses for years.
✅ EVEN IF this is the first time you’ve seriously thought about flying.
Ninjas say that our system and clearly articulated instructions make sense, and helps them make “instant progress”
PREP IT:
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!
FLIP IT:
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.
STACK IT:
It's all about structure. Learn how to effectively stack your bones to to find the tipping point, and see why "my butt is too heavy" and "my arms are too weak" are just stories, not fact!
FLY IT:
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.

What is the investment
to learn to FLY?
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 your local studio are $40-$50 a pop.
They typically teach 1 or 2 poses - and once the workshop’s over, it’s over.
You get zero feedback or follow-up after the fact.
And because you don't have follow-up or feedback, you’ll attend workshop after workshop to see ANY amount of progress.
To learn 30 poses, you'd be spending spending $1,200 or more.
You can hire a coach 1:1. 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 ninja. But....we do!
The only logical solution is to take a specialized training with a community of other people working towards the same goals.
Master over 30 arm balances and inversions in as few as 8 weeks with only 30 minutes of practice 3 times a week, for only
$247
This breaks down to about $8.23 per pose.
Considering that yoga workshops are usually $40-$50+ to learn 1-2 poses in 90 minutes and when it's over, it's over, you can't beat this for lifetime access to the training!
Ready to step into your power?
You’ll be balancing like a ninja within the first 14 days (chances are, much faster than that) or get double your money back!
Yes, you heard me.
When you sign up for Yogi Flight School, you are going to be absolutely amazed at the positions that you can balance in VERY QUICKLY.
However, if that doesn’t happen for you within the first 14 days of practicing the lessons from the course and requesting feedback from our coaches, I stand by my 14 day double your money back guarantee. That’s how sure I am that this works for everybody who comes in here as long as you actually do the work.
If you haven't made any progress in your practice by the end of 14 days, simply record and send over a 10-minute video of you practicing all of the fundamentals from Module 1 to show me it's not working for you. If we still can't get you flying after personal coaching from me, you'll get double your money back.
I ask for a video because I only want to work with people who will do the work. If you like to purchase programs, try them out for a day and ask for a refund, this isn't for you. This is for people who are committed to flying, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to get you there!! If you practice what the program teaches, your results are GUARANTEED!

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.
What do they have that you don’t?
- They have control over their thoughts.
- They recognize that the stories that hold them back are an invitation for a breakthrough.
- They recognize that they get to BE the kind of person who commits to the practice so they can DO the work and HAVE the result they want.
- They have a clear and simple process to follow that works.
- They have support from mentors and a community of people who believe in them.
YFS is more than just an arm balance program.
It is a body and mindset experience that helps you make powerful, loving choices for yourself and turns the impossible into something you do every day.
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.
And it's also deeper than that. You will:
✔ Overcome mental blocks that hold you back in multiple areas of your life
✔ Win just by showing up (no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ things go)
✔ Trust yourself that “you got this” - on the mat and everywhere else in your life
✔ Feel capable and confident, even when things get tough
✔ Be stronger mentally and physically
✔ Prove to yourself that you can fall and still be worthy (and even laugh about it!)
✔ Do ANYTHING you set your mind to
Growth begins just outside of your comfort zone, when you start to break through fear and limiting beliefs, drop your excuses and CREATE your life from the inside out!!
And it starts right here.
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 even though it’s self-paced you still get feedback and watch other people on FB."
- Laura H.
Whatever transformation you seek in your life, it begins the moment you CHOOSE IT and say YES to yourself.
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. 💪
Choice #1: Do Nothing
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.
Choice #2: Start flying!
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.
Simply click the button below and in minutes, you’ll be on your way to flying!
If you’re still on the fence, wondering whether to take the leap, let me share one last thought with you.
Whatever you choose, know this:
If you don’t make a point to break through your mental blocks, the feeling of inadequacy follows you around.
It reinforces existing beliefs 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!
