Handstands Baby- Let’s Flip It!

Sunday, June 7

4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

with Jody!

Join Jody for a workshop focused on the elements needed to get you started or keep you progressing in your handstands. Everyone will get upside down in this workshop whether it’s assisted with props, a wall, a chair, another person or all of these. Maybe you are already doing wall assisted handstands and you are excited to balance in the middle of the room. Let’s do it.

There are quite a few elements that have to come together to get us balancing upside-down: strength, flexibility, balance ability and then of course practice - repetition, repetition, repetition.

We will work on all of these.

We will do drills for:

• Hand placement, grip and press

• Arm hug

• Shoulder to hand relationship

• Core engagement

• Shoulder mobility and strength

• Pelvic placement

• Rib cage placement

• Balance ability

• The lean

We will also explore several possible ways to hit your handstand:

• Kick up

• Pike up

• Tuck up

• Supported knees to chest

Finally, you’ll learn how to fall safely

Cuz you’re gonna fall!! and that’s just what’s needed to find balance.
