THE HANDSTAND PROGRAM
10 DAY CHALLENGE TO BUILD YOUR HANDSTANDSTRENGTH • TECHNIQUE • ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEMATIC
Handstand is a challenging skill that requires a systematic approach, maximizing your efforts to produce the results you want. This 10 day program is expertly and anatomically designed to get you balancing handstand in your body.
10-DAY PROGRESSIVE FORMAT
Easy to follow format, doesnt require you to think about when, how or what you will practice. All you need ot do is show up for 10 days in a row and the training will do the work for you.
ACCOUNTABILITY
The biggest challenge for most people is not the pose itself, but the dedication it requires. Each day you will be assigned a specific drill/skill and you will take a photo/video and have the opportunity to share that in our private group for support and motivation!
EXPERT GUIDENCE
20 YEARS OF ACROBATIC TRAINING
For the past 20 years I have training handstands with the top acrobatic coaches in the world. I also spent 5 years performing professionally as an acrobat. The Acrobatic methodology is “Hands Down” the best when it comes to learning how to do a solid, stable, and predictable handstand.
ANATOMY
For the past 18 years I have studied Anatomy and have combined my acrobatic skills with my knowledge of anatomy and bio mechanics to create the most efficient and effective system for handstand.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching yoga for 18 years and began teaching handstand workshops in 2011. I have learned how to provide exactly what you need to balance a handstand regardless of your age, body type, experience or otherwise. Teaching Handstand has been one of my greatest passions in my yoga teaching career because the joy it brings to someone when they achieve what they thought was impossible.

ALL LEVELS APPROPRIATE
This handstand program caters to all levels from very beginner to advanced. You will be challenged appropriately at your level, there are no expectations only solutions.
IS IT TRULY ALL LEVELS APPROPRIATE?
I don't have a handstand yet
Great! You are in the right place. You will learn how to do a handstand!
I'm scared of handstand
You are not alone! Most students I teach who are new to handstand face fears about going upside down. With the right techniques, strength and training regimen the fear you have will dictate because handstand will no longer be unknown, it will be familiar.
My handstand is inconsistent
Perfect. Most people lack consistency because they are missing fundamental techniques. Its easy to jump from beginner to somewhat advanced and skip steps that hold you back from a being masterful. In fact in any skill related practice this is the case and its the reason why so many sit on the edge of mastery but settle on mediocrity. This training will get you to a strong, consistent and predictable handstand by filling in the blanks for you.
I AM ALREADY BALANCING!
You will learn drills for press handstand and handstand variations though out this course in order to take your handstand to the next level!
