Handstand Workshops
June 21 - 22
I started training handstands when I was only 6 years old, so this is something that feels natural to me. My performance career started in 2001 and since then I have been touring with different shows like "Varekai" and "Joya" by Cirque du Soleil, all over the world. During the past 5 years I've had years of discovering different teaching methods and realized that we, the humans, make the handstand much more difficult than it actually is. So now my purpose has become to make the upside down world as comfortable and light as it possibly can be.
Beginner Handstand Workshop
A three hour journey into building a friendship with the upside down world.
The beginners class will revolve around getting the perfect alignment and make you feel comfortable using the wall, detaching yourself slowly from the wall, becoming familiar with different shapes like the tuck, straddle and full handstand. We will work individually and occasionally with a partner.
