  • Anyone who loves Handstands, always wanted to learn how to Handstand, anyone afraid to be upside down or struggling with balance, Beginners and Monkeys. Come and play, learn some tricks that level up your body awareness and unlock movements that help with your Handstand Practice

  • You will not be able to learn how to Handstand over night. It is a Journey (as the title indicates) which requires strength, stamina and dedication.

    In the Workshop we are mainly focusing on all the things you need to know before the actual Arm Balance Part:

    • NERDY ANATOMY INFO that help us stay safe in the Pose: You will learn facts about your muscles and joints, that make it easier to understand Handstands.

    • We are PRACTICING DRILLS for core, shoulders, glutes, legs, wrists and neck to work on the physical challenges we experience in Arm Balances and play with brain drills that help improve posture, gaze and balance.

    • A small portion of the class will be spent on the wall. I am a big fan of WALL DRILLS, not so much of using the wall to learn how to hold. Therefore we’re moving on quickly to…

    • FALLING OVER- lots and lots of times, to learn different techniques that allow us a safe and stabile landing as we loose balance or control. Just another thing to keep you safe and avoid injury.

    • Only at the very end we are turning that Knowledge into ACTION and play with Jumps, Floats, Entries, Exits, Shapes and Holds.

    • Hair Tie for Long Hair

    • Clothes that stay in place, even when Upside Down

    • We will provide Mats, Blocks and Straps
