Class Description:

Workshop Theory , Warm up and handstand progressions

Part One: Explains The technique of “whole body positioning” - from fingers to toes aiming to achieve a perfectly straight handstand. We will also discuss the free handstand positioning:

-Hand positions

-Finger Tips technique

-Shoulders Elevation

-Core Engagement and Strength

-Breathing Technique

-Inner Sight Self Connection and Control

-Difference in between handstand holding techniques (open shoulders,closed shoulders, straight handstand, banana handstand, Contracted , relax and the list goes on…) and how to achieve the ideal straight and hollow handstand.

Part Two: Warming up the whole body based in flexibility, mobility and strength. This section focuses heavily on shoulders and wrists.

Part Three: Handstand Progression on the wall-

This section helps students to build confidence on standing upside down. By demonstrating and reinforcing confidence from the very start, working with the most fundamental handstand progressions on the wall(dynamic and static positions) and off the wall if applicable.  In this section there will be small groups separated with handstand programs based in each student level . It will be tailored made on spot based in the groups needs.

Entry to handstands - Break down the 3 mains jump to handstand step by step.

• Scissor Jump
• Tuck Jump
• Straddle Jump                                                                                                        

Miguel will show the most common body positions mistake based on his own methods and techniques with support and encourage each individual to progress until they are able to jump into a free handstand in the FUTURE.

Bailing out progressions to safely practice the free handstand in the middle of the room will also included in the training.

For advanced students, Miguel will be ADVISING similar progressions but instead of leaning on the wall to free handstand practice.
