Elephant Press Workshop

Learn the strength, coordination, and movement pathway behind the Elephant Press.

See the skill we’ll be breaking down throughout the workshop.

What you’ll learn

During this workshop, we’ll cover:

✓ How the Elephant Press actually works and the movement pathways behind it

✓ Compression, hip lift, and shoulder strength needed to build the skill

✓ Progressions to help bridge the gap between drills and the full movement

✓ Common sticking points, why they happen, and how to work through them

✓ How to train the Elephant Press with more clarity, control, and confidence

Who it’s for

This workshop is for aerialists and movement athletes who:

✓ Are beginning their Elephant Press journey and want a clear pathway

✓ Have been training the skill but feel stuck

✓ Want to understand the mechanics behind the movement rather than just repeating it

✓ Are looking to build strength, control, and body awareness that transfers into other aerial skills

No matter where you’re starting, you’ll leave with practical drills and progressions you can continue using long after the workshop.

What students say about training with Rosita

“Rosita has an incredible eye for movement and was able to quickly identify which muscles I wasn’t activating properly and where I was compensating with others.

She helped me develop a stronger mind-muscle connection and taught me how to activate my body correctly. Her ability to identify the root cause of movement issues and tailor exercises to address them has helped me break through plateaus in my training.”

— Poonam

“I’ve worked with Rosita for over five years and she has been an incredible trainer through many different goals and journeys. Whether I’ve been training towards a specific fitness goal, rehabilitating an injury, or simply maintaining my physical fitness, Rosita brings her wealth of knowledge and experience to deliver the right exercises for my body.

She prioritises correct technique over reps and adapts movements to accommodate injuries and different body types.”

— Larry

“I’ve been training with Rosita for a couple of years and found my handstand skills have come a long way. One of the biggest improvements has been being able to kick up consistently, stay grounded, and move through different shapes upside down.

The foundation work from previous training blocks is really starting to show, which has helped me appreciate the journey and the importance of building skills step by step.”

— Aaron

“I was initially intimidated by weights, but with Rosita’s guidance I felt safe and confident in my practice. She helped me develop a strong mind-muscle connection by teaching me exactly which muscles should be working during each movement.

She provided clear form cues that allowed me to steadily increase my strength and progressive overload without losing technique.”

— Martina Verachini
