What will change

  • Learn to confidently transfer your body weight onto your hands and maintain stability in inverted positions.

  • Strengthen your shoulders, arms, and core muscles to prepare for further handstand training.

  • Develop control over your hip and leg positions during static and dynamic exercises.

  • Improve coordination and your ability to maintain stable support while moving and changing body positions.

  • Prepare for LEVEL 3 — WALL CONTROL, where you'll begin learning handstands with wall support.

This course is for you if

  • Those who have completed LEVEL 1 — FOUNDATION and are ready to progress to more challenging weight-bearing exercises on their hands.
  • Those who want to learn to confidently control their body in inverted positions.
  • Those who already have basic strength and shoulder stability but are not yet ready for a full handstand.
  • Those who prefer structured, progressive training with two workload options — Minimum and Advanced.

This course is not for you if

  • Those who have not yet developed basic hand support skills or sufficient shoulder stability to perform inverted exercises.
  • Those who want to jump straight into freestanding handstands without first developing the necessary physical preparation and technical skills.
  • Those who do not have access to a stable, safe elevated surface or sufficient space for training.
  • Those who have been advised by a medical professional to avoid inverted positions or significant loading of the wrists, elbows, and shoulders.
