Moon Day Handstand Shenanigans: Down the Blocks

11/17/2016

0 Comments

 
A lot of handstand (handbalance) practice involves the use of handstand blocks; it's fair to say they're literally essential to the practice. They can be terrifically fun, and offer novel stimulus, as compared to practice on the floor or on a bench. 

As you can see, I am not stabilizing or keeping my shoulders elevated as I move from block to block.

Also note: that sharp point in my ribs, where my back is arched, is painful to see.

Regardless of my own shortcomings (it's a lengthy list), I thought some of you might get a kick out of this sort of thing.

Now you can learn from the abuse I have inflicted on myself during the last 5 or 6 years! I am offering a series of handstand classes in December on Sundays (December 4, 11, and 18 only) --- NEW LOCATION: Blue Ox Fitness.

Time will be 10:30a.m.–noon, so 90 minutes! Guided warm-up, hand-spotting and custom drills, guided finishing sequence. Class size capped at 8! Cost is $90. You can enroll here.

If you have wrist or shoulder pain, it might not be a great fit for you.

Also, more info on the page. Email me if you have questions.
