Most people just start kicking up at the wall and miss the specific strength training and skill training. This practice also needs to be consistent\, which means shorter practice sessions more often. Twice a week for 40 minutes is better than once a week for 60+ minutes. When you sign up you will get access to the live classes as well as the recordings. If you miss a class you can catch up at your own convenience. \nKathryn will be practicing along with you. She is teaching this series because she loves handstands and wants to work on them more consistently too. She will guide you through the 45-minute practice which will include a warm-up. There will be an optional 20-minute Q&A at the end. If you need personalized instruction or you want to show the group what you are working on this is the time. \nWhat to expect? \n\nA brief dynamic warm-up to begin each class (if you need more warm-up please begin early)\nSpecific and progressive wrist strength/mobility\nShoulder strength/mobility focussed mainly on pushing\nFull body mobility required to practice handstand with more ease (yes mobility helps!)\nRebalancing exercises for those who want to move away from the wall\nCore strength/awareness to connect your arms to your legs\nA fun and creative environment where we can all work on this playful pose\nGymnastics style strength training including basic locomotive exercises\nA balance of strength training and skill training\nA PDF to fill out as you go\n\nWhat you need \n\nA little bit of empty space on the floor\, a mat\, and some wall space\nA long resistance band (we recommend latex-free Theraband in red)\nA chair or stairs or counter space for incline push-ups\nA set of yoga blocks or books\n(if you have other props like weights\, handstand blocks\, ankle weights etc… great\, but these are not necessary)\n\n  \n“I’m having a ton of fun in this program. I’ve been practicing Handstands since I was a kid and have even taught programs for Handstands myself\, but I’m still learning new things in Kathryn’s course. I appreciate the exercise manuals so that I can keep working on this beyond the timeline of the live classes. Definitely getting loads of value from being in this program!” \n  \nWho is this for? \n\nYou do not need to be able to do a handstand to join\, this is not about perfection it’s about progress\nYou do not need to be able to kick up at the wall\, although we will do this\, Kathryn will give you additional options\nPeople who want to step up their handstand skills in a supportive community\nPeople who have been trying handstands for a while but need a more progressive system\nPeople who want to have fun with their movement\n\n  \nThis club will be about progress\, you can practice with your video on or off\, Kathryn will be demonstrating.

She has been interviewing clinicians and researchers on the topic of pain science and the bio-psycho-social model over the last two years and has a keen interest in always learning more about pain and movement. Kathryn arrived at the strength training practice with her own history of chronic pain and found strength training combined with relaxation to be very helpful. \nWho is this class for \nThis class is appropriate for people who can get up and down from the floor unassisted. Classes will be well balanced\, and there will be some time spent standing\, on hands and knees\, and on the floor. Options will be given when possible and participants are welcome to stay after class if they have specific questions about movement adaptations.
