A rare visit by traveling hand balance teacher, Brianna Peterson Magly!! Build your confidence in standing upside down, and moving on to greater fun when ready!  

This workshop starts with a discussion of the detailed actions involved in achieving a straight handstand. We cover the body’s alignment from fingers to toes, while paying close attention to the use of our breath and core strength. (Taking notes is encouraged.)

Stepping onto our mats we will go through a series of stretches to warm up the body’s flexibility, mobility, and strength; focusing heavily on shoulders and wrists.

Beginners will receive all the steps needed in progressing to a straight free handstand. More advanced students will have the opportunity to discuss and learn variations such as; press to handstand, jump to handstand, and one arm. There is something for everyone — beginners and advanced alike!

Class ends with an outline of a unique core strengthening sequence to help support an inversions practice. 4 minutes a day will provide the core strength that you need.
