Hey guys, didn't want to do a silent exit so here is why I'm not active at the moment. I was hoping my new job would be chill enough to give me the opportunity to put some time into training. Unfortunately it turns out to be more energy and time consuming than I expected. At least it's not boring 😬... However atm I barely get a consistent basic health routine in. Due to lack of energy in the late evening when I can actually do something, I can't put in focused effort and it got a bit frustrating to work on a skill that way. So anyways for now it's back to health focus for me. It's been a blast though and I learned a lot. Thanks to all of you for all the support and of course to @Yuri Marmerstein for his great teaching and philosophy. I learned a lot more than handstand here 🙏. And to @Michael Kosoff for the great social glue ☺️. I still hope I can rejoin at some point and wish you all humongous fun and an inspiring journey.

Ever wonder how to balance without putting so much stress on the hands/wrists? 🤔

Totally forgot I recorded some kick ups. Was a bit surprised by the strong side lean.

I’m looking at trying to do the May workshop this weekend. Or possibly Monday since that’s a holiday Any requests on what do you want the topic to be? I can also combine the Q&A with it since we didn’t get anyone able to attend the last session

Here is the challenge for April: Five entries to handstand The idea is to perform five entries to handstand in a row with minimal to no pause in between each one other than lifting the hands. The goal is to have the control and precision so that you can take each one to a free balance handstand with minimal correction/adjustment. in the video, I’m doing one of each of the five main entries: kicks with both legs, tuck, straddle, and pike. I’m holding the handstand for a couple seconds to show that I’m in control, as I land, I quickly lift my hands and then reset for the next repetition. If this is a little bit advanced for some of you, below are some ways to scale it down: -five entries to Handstand of your choice, still doing them with a quick reset and trying to hold the balance. -five entries to handstand, only marking the balancing position without the extended hold. -five entries to handstand in a row without lifting the hands from the floor. -five entries to handstand demonstrating the shape but not necessarily going up to the full handstand position So the basic idea is just five entries to handstand in a row. You can vary them or do the same one five times if you want, but the idea is to build consistency through a multiple rep combo Give it a try, post it, and at the end of the month I will make a video with Feedback
