Handstands are more fun with friends. They require a bit of dedication and discipline. The monthly check in class aims to create an upside-down community to support one another, physically as well as to motivate and keep each other accountable if that feels needed.
The class is for you even if you are a complete handstand beginner, if you want to build strong and healthy foundations to balance on your hands, and especially if you feel scared about the concept of being upside down.
We will meet one Sunday a month in a row from 11 am - 12:30 pm.
Each month, we will hold a 90 min workshop a reminder of key drills for conditioning and form. Each month we will focus on a different entry/ shape.
Each session is intended give you the tools to work on these at home for the coming month.
This is not a part of a series and this class can be taken by anyone, regarding your previous experience in handstands.
* Open for all, including beginners.

About the teacher
Renée is a lover of movement, though she only discovered this passion through yoga at 26. Yoga began a beautiful journey of reconnection, self-discovery, and healing through movement. After experiencing the profound and liberating nature of yoga as more than just a movement practice, but a state of being where nothing is missing, she couldn't imagine a life doing anything other than sharing that gift.
Her intention as a yoga teacher is to make the practice of yoga accessible, enjoyable, and an integral part of more lives. She wishes to create a safe space to foster a playful exploration of the Self through breath, movement, and awareness informed by yoga philosophy. Enabling you to cultivate your own expression of the practice. To best serve your body, mind, and spirit both on and off the mat.
Renée teaches from her training in Hatha, Yin & Vinyasa as well as drawing inspiration from her self practice of somatic movement, floorwork and AcroYoga.
