Who is this for?
Beginners
My coaching is for beginners / improvers who can reach the wall, but cannot yet hold their consistent 15-second straight handstand.
Whether you've never dared to try without a wall, or can get a few seconds but not consistently or for long - this is for you.We take you step by step, through all the progressions, to conquer your middle of the room handstand.
Busy adults
Handstand progress should not require 2 hours of training a day!
We program to adapt to your needs, and evolve with you every week.
30 minutes, 2-3 times a week is plenty of time to progress.
The program I design for you is smart, time-friendly, and designed to fit in your busy schedule.
The unique individual
Many teachers on social media want you to fit into a one size fits all box.
They rely on their flexibility, their strength and their years of training - ultimately, demanding the same from you...
Reality is you are already strong enough, with no need to be more flexible to get your first 15 second handstand.
In our work together, the training adapts to you, not the other way around.

#4 - Anyone can learn it
The path to your first 15-second handstand is one of discovery and mindfulness, a blend of science and art.
With each step, and each person, a different focus.
Full assessment, bespoke coaching, plus your unique roadmap - we will take you there.
Tell you the truth, I used to think it wasn't for me...
My inconsistent, questionable results after years of trying...
But over time, I noticed I wasn't the only one struggling.Looking around the room, I realised that only a selected talented few were making it, while the majority of us seemed to stagnate...
I was trying to get in a box that I could never fit.
I decided to give it one last ditch effort - fully dedicating myself to the art of handbalancing; but this time, on my own terms and with my body make-up.
And Ok, yes, again - I made many mistakes (and almost, almost quit), but one long year of research and daily practice later, I finally reached my then goal - 30 second handstands, on demand.
I started teaching a few interested people, and quickly realised that - just like me, every person I met was unique, with a specific set of goals and needs.
Month after month, I trialed, tested, and refined a method that covered all the aspects of handstands; developing a framework that relied on the break down and mechanics of handstands.
No guru nonsense here.
Beyond the thrill of standing on my own two hands, it was the passion for teaching - and cutting through the BS - that has fueled my work for the last decade.
There is such a reward in giving to others what took years to come to me.
That's how my online program was born.

My guarantee
I've spent the better part of my life paying and engaging with training and development programs.
Nothing was worse than feeling conned or let down by something that gave me great promises.
I have hundreds of people who have conquered their handstand goals through this program., and I am absolutely confident that you will transform the way you see handstands, and achieve your progress faster than ever.
But, I understand the worry of "unknown".
So, at the end of the 8 weeks together, if you're not satisfied with the progress or the program, you will be offered a full and complete refund.
FAQ
โ
How does the coaching work?
You will send a video of your current abilities in the first week (even if you're just starting, don't worry! This is also to highlight your strengths and help you navigate your training to get the most out of it).Then every week on Monday, a new module will be released with tutorials, progressions, and training sheets. At the end of each week, you send a video for homework. This is reviewed and responded to; clarifying any doubt, and giving you specific advice. Every day, you can ask any question you have through the dedicated forum.
โ
How long is the training?
If handstands came in one week... everybody would do it !
They are instead a rich, deep practice.
To allow us to establish proper foundations, the minimum commitment is 3 months.
โ
What if I am a complete beginner?
No worry, we start from scratch. For the complete beginners, this is the ideal structure to form good habits.
To make the most of this method, you need to be able to kick-up against the wall. If you can not, drop me a message - I have PLENTY of free stuff for you.
For more experienced students, complex variations are offered while the core modules iron out any bad - progress delaying - habits you may have picked up, including diagnoses and step-by-step solutions to fix them.
