There will be a fairly intense handstand specific warm up and explanations of what to do with your body to get a perfectly straight handstand. Numerous exercises to help you understand the alignment both on the floor and on your hands. You'll be working with a partner so you will also learn how to spot and correct someone else's handstand. In this class a lot of conditioning and flexibility exercises specific to handstands. Very useful workshop if you starting out, or if you can already can hold a handstand but want to perfect your handstand.
First half of the workshop we will focus on foundation work towards how to push through the shoulders in handstand and how to position your body in order to get perfect alignment and increase awareness which essential for achieving efficient handstand.
Second half of the workshop we progress into shapes and transitions such as tuck, straddle handstand drills including entires.
All exercises are aiming at improving your awareness in handstand which I believe is most important aspects of improving your balance in handstand.
Ad-hoc exercises will be offered during this intensive workshop depending on participants abilities. (for example one arm transfers and side bend progressions and a lot more...).
