Press to Handstand

Ditch the kick-up and build real handstand control.

This is a full-body conditioning class focused on learning how to properly squeeze and tighten your body to achieve a properly stacked and aligned handstand. We are not looking to kick up and hope we nail a handstand once in a while—this class is all about learning the precise control you need to hold a consistent handstand every single time. We will work through targeted drills to open up your shoulders, strengthen your hip flexors, and build ironclad core stability to help you eventually reach your press to handstand.

What to expect: A rigorous, high-focus session packed with targeted conditioning, mobility drills, and progressive strength work. While this class welcomes all levels, it is a serious challenge—come prepared to be humbled by these drills!

Who it’s for: Anyone looking to move away from inconsistent kick-ups and build the raw strength, control, and alignment required for a solid handstand. It's also an excellent class for established circus performers looking to bring their handstands to the next level.

Level: All Levels (Challenging!)

Prerequisites: A burning desire to build real handstand control and a willingness to embrace the grind of conditioning!

Focus: Full-body tension, shoulder mobility, hip flexor strength, core compression, and press alignment.

What to bring:

• Water bottle

• Comfortable clothes that you can move in
