Handstand Class – fall mini-session

Mondays, 5:45-6:45 p.m. (3 classes)

November 24-December 8, 2025

Handbalancing is a fun and challenging ground discipline that is a great addition to aerials! This class will focus on the fundamentals of handstand technique with the goal of working towards holding a straight freestanding handstand, as well as handstand shapes. 

We will cover handstand-specific strength, mobility and engagement exercises, alignment drills, ways of entering and exiting a handstand, how to work with the wall, and troubleshooting common mistakes. There will be plenty of hands-on help and spotting to ensure safety and good technique.  

All levels are welcome, from complete beginners to more advanced students working on shapes and presses.
