This course is aimed at anyone who is interested in learning or improving the handstand and using it on a daily basis.

Daily handstand training can achieve significant progress. This course is the perfect way to learn a clean technique so that you don’t train yourself to make mistakes. The focus in this course is on Handstand Press, One Hand, but also on cleanliness, energy efficiency and health sustainability. Each class includes a specific warm-up and training in technique, strength endurance and flexibility.

Over the weeks we will explore various topics such as posture, breathing and timing to give you a better, more complete understanding of handstand.

Clothing: Comfortable sportswear. In the winter months we recommend long training clothes for before and after the course.
