Handstand: Single Leg Lift Off

Livestream Recorded Wednesday April 10, 2024

Advanced Beginner Level 

Props/Training Supports:

  • Mat or carpet

  • Blocks

  • Wall and training space free of anything that could get in the way of training safely.

  • Recommended: Mirror for reflection and camera to record your alignment when inverted.

PREREQUISITES: 
Participants must feel comfortable to begin to kick off the floor into a handstand towards the wall with one leg.

Class is structured to enhance greater balance, control, and endurance in a handstand moving to and from the wall through a single leg. Class will begin on the mat with a dynamic warm-up and conditioning drills tailored for the requirements of inversions. Class will then move to the wall to find alignment through fundamental shapes, enhance technical understanding and body awareness through isolation exercises, and develop greater balance and control through transitions on and off the wall.
