GET YOUR HANDSTAND PRACTICE STARTED
Have you always wanted to do a handstand but are not sure where to start? Or maybe you can do a handstand, but the balance is inconsistent or your form has room for improvement? Ulrik is teaching a two-day handstand workshop in which you will learn how to train towards a freestanding handstand, introduce different shapes, and take the first steps towards a press to handstand.
TOPICS COVERED
- Understanding of the handstand practice
- Mobility for proper handstand alignment and efficiency
- How to balance
- How to kick-up into a handstand
- Shapes like tuck, one leg 7 and straddle
- Pike and pancake compression and flexibility
- Intro to press to handstand training
- Relevant strength and conditioning
- Individual training with feedback
- Summary and Q&A
WHO IS THIS FOR?
There is no prerequisite, but it is recommended that you can do at least a 30-second handstand facing a wall without too much difficulty. This workshop is also best suited for those who can hold freestanding for less than 20 seconds and want to improve their form and understanding of the practice.

In this two-day workshop we will solidify your two-arm work, train for press handstands, and introduce various drills that will get your one-arm work started or continued.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
This is for you who have already spent a decent amount of time on your hands and are ready to move on to more advanced two-arm shapes, presses, and maybe even have started on one-arm. Prerequisite: be able to consistently hold a 30-sec freestanding handstand and are familiar with other shapes. If you are not there yet, we suggest the beginner/intermediate workshop.
