Handstand Series: How to Fall · How to Get Up · How to Stay

Over dit evenement

This is your invitation to try something new this year or maybe to return to something you did when you were a kid - come and master the art of standing on your hands with me.

This series is designed to help you build a handstand step by step, in a way that feels safe, intelligent, and empowering — no matter your experience level. The three-step approach breaks the skill down into getting over the fear, learning to use the right muscles to get up and discovering what it takes to stay there.

Being upside down isn’t just a physical challenge, it’s a nervous system challenge. Can you imagine how much more mental space you will gain to balance, once your whole system feels safe? Through specific neuro drills, you’ll learn how to orient yourself, stay present and understand what to do when you’re inverted.

Each workshop will give you different learning point and enough time to digest the material. You will gain the most out of this series by attending all three workshops (it's a deal!) but joining a single one is an option.

Step One: Learn How to Fall
Saturday September 12th 10:00-12:30

Every good plan need a good exit strategy. Falling out of a handstand is not failure — it’s a skill. From my experience, your mind plays the crucial role if it comes to doing something as scary as handstand. In this workshop, we will focus on learning how to exit from a handstand safely and calmly. By understanding how to fall, you remove one of the biggest barriers to progress: fear.

You’ll learn:
* Safe and controlled ways to come out of a handstand
* How to train your nervous system to stay calm instead of freezing
* How to trust yourself in the process

Step Two: Learn How to Get Up
Sunday September 20th 10:00-12:30

Getting into a handstand doesn’t have to feel like a jump into the unknown. Here we explore different entries and pathways into the handstand, with an emphasis on control, awareness, and choice — not momentum or force. Learning the proper technique is important so you can save your energy on the way up and make the movement feel more predictable. This workshop connects intention with action.

You’ll learn:
* Clear, repeatable ways to enter a handstand
* How to coordinate mind and body during the kick-up or entry
* How to recognize where you are in space as you go upside down

Step Three: Learn How to Stay
Saturday October 17th 10:00-12:30

How to stay still, when everything feels wobbly? Balance is not something you "hold" - it's something you interact with. In this final workshop, we focus on staying in the handstand with more clarity, control, and confidence. Yes, we will work on the shoulder and wrist strength but we will also talk about one thing often forgotten if it comes to balance - your eyes!

You’ll learn:
* How to refine awareness while upside down
* How to make small, intelligent adjustments
* How to use breath, eyes and nervous system regulation to stay longer
