Houston handstand workshop!!

November 7th and 8th
Beginner series 12-2pm
Intermediate & advanced 2:30-5pm

DM for questions

Beginner
Not sure where to start your handstand journey? Or maybe you’ve been practicing for a while but feel stuck and want guidance on building a solid foundation for more challenging hand balancing skills? This workshop is for you.
We’ll break the handstand down into its key components and help you identify what is holding you back and how to address it. We’ll cover shoulder mobility and strength, bodyline position and awareness, and the foundations of balance, while laying out a clear path toward your freestanding handstand.
You’ll leave with a better understanding of your own strengths and limitations, as well as a clear framework for how to approach your training going forward.
This workshop is designed for anyone from complete beginners to those working toward a consistent 10–20 second freestanding handstand.

Intermediate + Advanced
Already comfortable holding a freestanding handstand and ready to take your practice to the next level? This workshop will build on your existing two-hand foundation and introduce more advanced skills, including advanced shapes, press to handstand, and one-arm handstands.
We’ll break down these skills into their key components and help you identify the gaps in your current practice and how to address them. Whether you’re working toward your first press, exploring more advanced shapes, or beginning your one-arm journey, you’ll develop a clearer understanding of the process and what you need to work on to progress.
You’ll leave with a practical framework for training advanced skills and ideas for how to continue developing your practice beyond the workshop.

WORKSHOP IN AUSTIN TX!

We train the splits because they train the hip, not because we NEED a full range split. Let’s keep that clear; the hip can only do so many actions and by training front and middle splits, we hit a lot of those actions.

The shadow highlights an important point for one arms. We need to shift the pelvis laterally to stack the weight on the base arm.

However, it’s important to remember that everyone’s anatomy is different. So rather than always saying opposite hip needs to stack on top of shoulder, I think it’s important to realize that the alignment may vary based on proportions. E.g. width of pelvis, how broad the shoulders are, etc. The most important thing is that as you shift it should start to feel weightless :)
