HANDSTAND FLOW
Zoom Livestream recorded June 25, 2024
Intermediate to Adv Intermediate Level
Prerequisites:

• Handstand class assumes that people are able to hold a handstand against the wall for 10 paced breaths.

• Class assumes that moving into handstand shapes (tuck and vertical for advanced) through sun salutations without a wall is comfortable, although there is no expectation of balancing for extended time.

• Class assumes students know how to safely fall out or dismount from handstands in the centre of the room safely. There is no breakdown of fallout methods.

Class is structured to enhance greater balance, control and endurance of handstand shapes within sun salutations. We will spend a shorter portion of the class on the mat with drills tailored to the requirements of the skill. Class content will aim to build the conditioning, technical understanding and awareness through isolation exercises, self-tactile cueing and any other means that may be more individually directed.

Class was recorded as a livestream and has been edited. Please pause the video after the demonstration of each handstand drill to allow time for practice.
