Description:

 

In this handstand workshop, we will focus on the foundations of handstand alignment, strength, and flexibility while working towards a solid freestanding handstand. Our goals will be to grow confidence upside-down and to build a toolbox of drills that support your solo practice. All levels are welcome, whether you are working towards your first handstand or refining your handstand practice.
