Holistic Handstands

A handstand is so much more than just a fun move. Besides being a full body exercise, it is also a beautiful tool for cultivating more self-awareness and strengthening the body-mind connection. In other words it is a very yogic thing to do!

In this workshop the idea is to work mindfully on creating a solid base for doing handstands. We will use many different techniques derived from yoga, breakdancing, acrobatics and circus. With a few different inversions we work towards really understanding a handstand and while at the same time we work on the strength and condition needed to stay upside down for some time.
We will explore how to incorporate handbalancing into our daily movement practice and have a little circle about how this practice can influence our lives.

Also we will go through some beautiful variations and new challenges for the pro’s!
