PRESS TO HEADSTAND & HANDSTAND
Livestream recorded Thursday April 25, 2024
Advanced Beginner to Intermediate Level
Props/Training Tools:

• Training space free of anything that could get in the way of safety

• Wall to invert against

• Blocks

• Carpet or Mat

PREREQUISITES: 
Participants must feel comfortable to hold a headstand and handstand towards the wall.

Class is structured to enhance greater balance, control, and endurance leading towards press to headstands and handstands. We will spend a significant portion of the class on the mat with drills tailored to the requirements of the press. Class will then move to the wall to put the mat drills into effect, aiming to target alignment and control during transitions through straddle, pike and single leg. 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.

Please note that online training does have added risk: There is no one there to spot you, ensure the safety of the area you are training in, the safety of equipment you are using, your readiness to train handstands, or monitor your alignment and approach to training. Please understand that you participate at your own risk.
