Making Handstand Easy for you!
Hi, my name is Elliott
200hr Certified Yoga Teacher
Like many, I didn't grow up doing gymnastics and couldn't even touch my toes when I started training 6 years ago. I made countless mistakes each of which set my progress back by many months.The problem is nowadays there is too much information out there and what you need is for someone to bring it altogether and give you somewhere to start.It gets even harder when working on more challenging skills, getting away from the wall, pressing or One arm can seem impossible. Through my 6 years experience practicing and 2 years teaching I have learnt how to bridge every gap you face to break it into manageable steps
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
Are you ready to take your handstand training to the next level? If you can hold a crow pose and walk up the wall, this workshop is designed for you!This progressions-based workshop will teach you how to create balance, not just catch it.
