Hold on the hands, it is useless and at the same time it changes everything. Handstand is a demanding, difficult, sometimes thankless practice, but I believe it is also a transformative practice on the physical and proprioceptive level as well as on the mental level.
During this intensive, we will have the opportunity to discover and explore a multitude of exercises and progressions allowing you to develop your handstand practice. Because most of the participants are yoga practitioners, bridges between the handstand and more common postures like downward facing dog will be covered.
Finally, whatever your level of practice, I believe that it is always relevant to re-explore certain basic exercises to compare your practice, which is why many progressions on the wall (or by 2) will be proposed.
The objective of 10h is to give you the keys to develop your practice from a precarious handstand on the wall to a mastery allowing you to move your legs and climb in any environment. However, it is important to keep in mind that this process can take several years, and therefore some indications will only make sense after a certain level of practice.
