Description :

In this 1.5 hr workshop participants will learn techniques for effectively mastering handstand balance in various positions. The instructor has developed a program that gives step-by-step understanding and confidence in hand balance.

The handstand program is divided into two categories: Beginner and Experienced 

Beginner is for those who have not achieved a handstand or who stand unsteadily and are afraid of falling/hurting themselves, a set of preparatory exercises and detailed explanations have been developed on how to work with the body as a whole and parts of the body individually, in order to ultimately achieve a confident, even handstand.

Experienced is for those with a more established level who have already had some success in handstands and would like to improve and diversify the number of possible elements and exercises. Exercises include: complex balance exercises (one-arm stand) and strength exercises (planche, mexican, press-up to handstand).

Participants must be able to demonstrate basic fitness exercises including: straight arm plank hold for a minimum of 30 seconds, hollow body hold for a minimum of 30 seconds, superman hold for a minimum of 30 seconds, headstand for a minimum of 5 seconds, handstand supported by wall for at least 20 seconds.
