We build your foundation from scratch.
If you've tried yourself at home, standard cues like "engage your core" or "point your toes" probably led you... nowhere.
We've spent the last 10 years deconstructing the 8 pillars of the handstand to make it super duper accessible to the adult beginner.
Learn to trust your body again. We teach you to listen to your nervous system rather than mindlessly pushing through fear.
No "one size fits all".
You don't need a background in gymnastics or yoga.

Overwhelmed with info online? We design your handstand tool box with easy-to-follow progressions to conquer fear and understand balance.
If you keep falling short of the float, or can't reach the wall with control. We fix the wrong habits you've developed and rebuild correctly.
As long as your nervous system associates danger with being upside down, it won't let you balance. We harness those signals safely.

"Vincent is a handstand genius & a beginners mindreader 🧠 His ability to explain from a beginners mindset was so appreciated and every tiny detail made complete sense for me."
"During the 5th week I reliably mastered an 8-second free-standing handstand, something my fear never allowed me to master. The program dealt directly with what stopped me."
"I was a beginner who could kick up to a wall. Nothing else. After only 3 weeks I could balance in the middle of the room. For 30 seconds!! Vincent sees the individual."
With 10 years of experience teaching adult beginners how to handstand, Vincent is the most established handbalancing teacher in Dublin.
Despite a background in dance and circus, Vincent only learnt handstands as an adult, just like you. This allowed him to create a method specifically designed for complete beginners, bypassing the extreme time commitment and flexibility demands typical of gymnastics.
