There is so much to explore with handstands:

– getting comfortable being on your hands

– strength, mobility and conditioning

– understanding and experiencing balance with physical, technical, mental and guidance on breathing preparation

– refinement of various handstand shapes

– different entries and safe / efficient exits inc. various jumps or presses

– backbends in Handstands

It doesn’t matter if you can’t get into handstand already.  Depending on where your experience is now, we will start from there.

Don’t be shy.  If you are a complete beginner – we all start from somewhere.

If you have experience there is so much in this wonderful arena to work on – and experienced eyes always help.
