Defy Gravity: The 90-min Flying Splits Playground with Jasen Tay, Aug 30

Orchard Central
Saturday, August 30, 2025
10am - 11.30am

Welcome to your arm balance playground–a space to move, explore, tumble (a little), and maybe even take flight. In this 90-minute special, we break down the dynamic flying splits (eka pada koundinyasana II) with curiosity and a sense of adventure.

We’ll kick things off with wrist wake-ups and core ignition to build a sturdy foundation. Then it’s time to roll, stretch, twist, and groove through drills that open your hips, activate your hamstrings, and unlock spinal rotation. Expect playful transitions and mini-flows that challenge coordination, balance, and breath.

No matter where you're at–whether you're just learning to lift off or you’ve flown before–this practice is designed to meet you where you are. Props, wall support, and progressive options will keep the space safe and exploratory. Come ready to wobble, laugh, and surprise yourself.

Leave the mat feeling strong, supported, and a little more weightless.

Play Areas:

• Wrist & shoulder wake-up
