Playful Handstands
With Cameron Pratto

If you don’t have a handstand yet, you’ll still have fun.

This workshop-style movement class offers a holistic approach to handstands taking all systems into consideration. Although the ultimate goal is to be able to hold a free-standing handstand, the focus shifts along a cross disciplinary exchange of movement patterns in pursuit of being as physically diverse and mentally flexible as possible.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Warm up with learning how to juggle and playing other object/partner games.
  • Twist, bend, crawl and articulate your body in fun and unconventional ways.
  • Learn techniques for optimal wrist health, balance and coordination.
  • Work on the fear of falling, fall prevention and injury prevention if you fall.
  • Explore scalable progressions and shapes using the wall and others for support.
  • Those that don’t need the wall will be challenged with new shapes and goals.
  • Experience a creative block of open training where you get time to put it all together.
  • Cool down with a mobility and mindfulness routine similar to a yoga class.

Express your punctuality! Please plan to arrive early enough to be ready to start on time. 
Late participants will not be admitted.
