Handstand: The Body-Mind Connection

About this event

You would think that it goes completely against our nature to try to flip ourself upside down.
Yet, we try to defy the gravity, knowing that the body can adopt to be able to do even a handstand!

Join me for this short series exploring the body-mind connection essential to do a handstand. We will break the skill down in two parts: the physical preparation of your body and the role of your nervous system in holding you upside down. Learn a handstand in a way that make you feel strong and empowered. Very beginner friendly but I've got you too, if you are more experienced.
