Handstands

About

Whether you are just beginning hand balancing or have been working on it for some time, join me in this all inclusive class to learn how to stand on your hands! A tiered class structure will make sure each student is challenged at their level with useful, real time feedback and individualized drills. Together we will work on the key components of hand balancing: inversion skill building, balance sensitivity, strengthening and flexibility.
