Course Purpose:

This is an in-depth handstand course created for you to safely and effectively train handstands on your own, whether you’re at the gym, in the comfort of your home or outdoors. The modules are specially structured to offer you a deep-dive into the theory, anatomy, strength, mobility & flexibility required to achieve a basic straight handstand hold, maintain this foundation and go beyond. Throughout this course you can learn to enhance your handstands both on and off the wall, transition into moving shapes and sequences, learn new entries and exits, all whilst acquiring world-class warmup, workout and wind down techniques to better equip your body and mind for an effective, enjoyable and rewarding movement practice.

I invite you to study and refine your postural alignment, breathing techniques, injury prevention, pain management, movement methodologies and shift these into the direction of stronger and effortless hand balancing. If you’re seeking to strengthen your relationship with your mind and body, tap into your physical potential and feel more in touch with your spatial awareness, this course will equip you with the tools to experience this. Handstands are a full-body exercise, requiring total tension and control over your own body, dictated by your calm state of mind; they are a quest of patience and can teach you a lot about yourself, your learning style and your resilience and response to feedback, they are not for everyone, but those who get upside down get a lot more than just a handstand out of it!
