Want to stand on your hands? In this 4-week series, we'll work on drills to help you along your journey to handstand and give you the skills to safely practice on your own.

Week 1: Introduction to handstand methodology and form. We'll build strength and good foundations for our handstand practice.
(Plan: wrist and shoulder strengthening exercises, floor drills, across-the-floor drills, partner drills, wall drills if accessible)

Week 2: The wall is your friend. We'll review using the wall to assist us in building strength, alignment, and engagement.
(Plan: back-to-wall drills, belly-to-wall drills, endurance holds, balance exercises)

Week 3: Help, I'm falling! The scariest part of doing a freestanding handstand is not knowing how to come down safely. We'll learn exits to give us the confidence to practice handstands without the wall.
(Plan: roll outs, cartwheel, twist out)

Week 4: Refining our entry. We'll work on being more precise and controlled kicking up into handstand and other entries.
(Plan: partner spotting, kicking up, tuck and straddle up if accessible)
