HANDSTAND
For beginners
Essential Foundations: Handstand
For complete beginners
4 Week Program
During this beginner friendly course you will experience mobilizations/activations, mobility and flexibility/preparation, strength and skill centric beginner friendly drills that will lay the essential foundations for achieving a two-arm, straight, freestanding handstand. Whilst we have a baselined format, regressions or progressions are available based on the individual - hence this is suitable for those curious about the strength and health benefits of handstands or those with perhaps some prior exposure that would welcome an achievable, science-based hand balance practice.
