HANDSTANDS WORKSHOP WITH BCD's ILIANA! 🔥

Sat 15.11 at 16-18
Spreefeld: Wilhelmine Gemberg Weg 12, 10179 Berlin Mitte, right by the river!
Open level

Find your balance upside down!

🟣 WHAT WE'LL DO

We’ll take time to understand and embody the foundations of Handstand Balancing — from the physical alignment to the mental calm that allows real progress.

✅ The base: how to use your arms for stability

✅ The leg-work: how the legs help us GO to a Handstand, STAY there and LAND!

✅ The upper body: finding alignment to make balance possible

✅ Different variations of handstands

✅ Falling safely: technique to GET RID OF FEAR for good and gain confidence

We'll take time on the technique of falling safely from a Handstand. Once your body knows how to fall, you're able to feel safe and secure upside down. Without fear, your mind relaxes — and that’s when real improvement begins. From there, it’s simply practice, patience, and play.
