the pincha method

a complete, step-by-step approach to forearm stand, combining strength, mobility, alignment, body awareness and confidence upside down.

if pincha feels like a guessing game, start here.

maybe you can kick up at the wall but have no idea how to come away from it,

maybe your shoulders tire quickly,

your alignment feels inconsistent,

the fear of falling stops you from trying.

or maybe pincha has always been a goal and you have no idea where to begin.

the pincha method was built around the things real practitioners told me they struggle with most.

strength. alignment. shoulder range. fear of falling. confidence. balance. knowing what to practise next.

over 14 days, we break those pieces down individually and bring them together day-by-day

14 guided classes

a clear daily practice so you always know what to do next

build strength
& range

create space & develop the shoulders, scapulae, core & smaller stabilising muscles that help you feel supported upside down

aligNment & body awareness

learn the small cues that make a big difference & practice shapes & movement patterns before we invert

fall
with confidence

practise safe ways to exit pincha so fear becomes something you can work with instead of something that controls your practice

simple enough to actually learn

this method is suitable for complete beginners, newer practitioners and anyone who can already get upside down but still feels inconsistent or overly dependent on the wall.

throughout the 14 days, we take a slow and deliberate approach to learning forearm stand. you won’t be rushed through the foundations or asked to attempt the full pose before your body understands what’s happening.

instead, each class gives you time to build the different pieces that contribute to a more stable pincha

meet your teacher

i created the pincha method after years of teaching inversions and hearing the same questions and frustrations come up again and again.

so i built this programme to answer those questions.

my teaching is alignment and awareness focused, and i love the small details that can completely change how a pose feels. throughout the method i'll give you clear cues, explain why we're doing each drill and help you understand the relationship between mobility, strength, confidence and balance.

i want you to finish this method feeling like you understand your pincha

practice, even if your journey is still continuing.

and if you need help along the way, i'm here. use the studio nira community, send me your questions and share your videos. you're practising with us, not by yourself.

the pincha method is for you if you:

​​​

  • pincha has always been a goal and you don't know where to start

  • you're stuck at the wall

  • your shoulders or core fatigue quickly

  • you're unsure about your alignment

  • fear of falling holds you back

  • you want to refine the smaller details

  • you want a clear plan instead of piecing together drills from different places

you do not need experience to start.

main character training plan?
 

two goals, one bundle.

work on your flexibility with the flexibility method, then take your inversion practice further with the pincha method.

 

28 days of guided, progressive practice, with lifetime access so you can return whenever you want.
