If you have ever thought "I could never do a handstand" this workshop is for you. We welcome any and all levels as we mix hand balancing with a whole lot of fun. We will be breaking down the class starting with the importance of warm-ups and safety all the way to finding your ideal line and even playing with some fun new entries. While we love introducing hand-balancing and working with beginners, we also have some fun tricks up our sleeve to challenge our more advanced hand balancers. There will be plenty of time for questions if you have something in mind you would like to work on. Please be prepared to have a lot of fun. This workshop is for all ages so please feel free to bring friends, partners, and kids.

Questions
About Billy:
My hand-balancing journey has been about finding "True Balance". Understanding a level of balance like this will make it possible to hand balance anywhere, on anything, while moving, creating shapes, and even performing handstands and handstand push-ups on my fingertips and knuckles. Understanding the balance will also help you achieve more difficult entries and even move on to advanced moves like handstand push-ups and presses. I currently hold two Guinness Book World Records for handstands. I established and lead a handstand club in Jacksonville FL.
About Sonia:
I love the patience, discipline, humility, and playfulness that accompany a dedicated handstand practice. Like many yoga practitioners, I struggled with overcoming the common trappings (including the initial fear!) of practicing inversions. Years after several breakthroughs in my training, it is my passion to share the many tips that have helped me to learn how to trust myself and comfortably position my body upside down with control. I’m also a 500 RYT and enjoy teaching vinyasa and restorative yoga classes to all levels.
