Who is this for?

 
BEGINNERS
Our Handstand Course is built in particular for people who understand the value of intelligent programming, but feel lost or overwhelmed with the amount of info out there, & are not sure which exercises to prioritise.
We will design together your handstand tool box, filled with easy-to-follow progressions to conquer fear, learn to kick-up and understand balance.
 
UNDER/OVER SHOOTERS
If you have some experience with handstands but...you have a tendency to fall short of reaching the floating position, either against the wall or freestanding...or you never quite find enough power to reach that wall... following the recipe laid down in these classes will fix all the wrong habits you have developed in your practice and allow you to kick up with control and ease.
 
AFRAID TO FALL?
80% of the students we have met along the years were facing some form of a mental block.
As long as your nervous system will associate some danger with being upside down, it will not allow you to kick up without a wall or a spotter.
Whether you are aware of that fear or not, working on harnessing the signals of your nervous system is one of the most important, yet underrated, ways to make fast progress in handstands.
 
INVERSION AFFICIONADOS
You aren't a complete beginner but haven't achieved a 30- second, consistent, freestanding handstand yet.
The culprit here is that you have left a few stones unturned on the way. And you will keep plateauing until you manage to diagnose what foundation needs to be reexamined, pin down the bad habits you may have subconsciously taken along the way, and fix them.
