WORKSHOP: The Road to Handstand

Learning how to handstand can often feel like a very scary task. But if we start with the basics and really master the fundamentals, then our inversion practice will grow.

Join Daniel for 2 sessions in February – each of which will be 2 hours long – to either start or deepen your handstand practice.

In these sessions, you will learn and refine techniques to prepare you to go upside down with ease and tools that will help you in your personal practice to continue working on your handstand on your own whenever and wherever you are.

Basic Handstand session – Beginners and all levels.

We will cover the following topics:
