FAQ

Why handstands?
They cultivate smiles. You can do them anywhere. Handstand training can lead to a more fulfilling life.
Can I really learn how to do a handstand?
Of course! Handstands just require the right kind of strength, mobility, and motor control. I will work with you at your level to develop these fundamental movement skills.
How often should I practice to see progress?
You can see significant progress in just 10 minutes of practice a day, two to four times a week.
Are there any prerequisites to learning a handstand?
Well, yes - but probably not at many as you might think. You need some level of wrist and shoulder mobility, along with a bit of upper body strength. Locomotion is a good place to start if you've never done a cartwheel or kicked up to a wall. If you are concerned about limitations in your movement, I am happy to discuss over email.
How will handstands make me a better person?
Learning this skill requires discipline, and consistent, intentional practice. It teaches patience, and to trust the process. The intangible results of handstand training will permeate into other areas of your life. I promise.
