Hand Balancing Workshop

Handbalancing is among the most coordination-intensive acrobatic skills one can master. Athletes need powerful and active range of motion through hips, shoulders, and wrists, the ability to selectively block and isolate muscle groups, and a subconscious reflex for balance. This 2 hour workshop is designed to put participants on a concrete training path to gain each necessary skill set and work on finding that ephemeral balance. We will work mobility, endurance, strength, and traction in the inversion as well as break down the physics underpinning the skill. Finally, each participant will leave with written training materials on how to progress their hand balancing in the months following the workshop. All levels welcome: Juli will differentiate for each participant based on their level.
