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 7 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
This workshop is about taking your Handstand to the next level. It will assume you're able to walk up the wall and fall safely. This will allow us to focus on how to create balance and pull you off the wall. While also teaching you in a progressive and accessible way to learn more advanced moves!✅ Creating balance– Finally learn how to get off the wall, a significant amount of the workshop will cover this area. Get to 10 seconds and beyond
✅ How to feel lighter on your feet and get started learning to press
✅ Shape Changes – Improve alignment and control in different positions
✅ Intro to One-Arm Handstands – For those of you with the right foundations we will started on the road to a one-arm holdClass will include extensive group warm up, workshop with lots of time for 1-2-1 support, circuits style class.
