Handstands for beginners course: winter 2025


New year - new handstand!

We are super excited to start a new handstand course :)

Do you dream of balancing on your hands, catching the elusive handstand line and learning to breathe while you’re upside down? We’ve got you with this 14-class series on Wednesday evenings (17:30-18:30).

Each class will focus on specific aspects of handstands. Classes will build on each other and the best way to progress in handstands is continuity. So while drop-ins are possible, we encourage you to join the whole series to really see your handstands progress faster.

This series is for you if…

  • you are new to handstands and want to learn the basics in a progressive way

  • you’ve started your handstand journey but feel stuck and want more method and structure

  • you’re managing to kick-up in the middle of the room but holding doesn’t work yet

What will you learn?

  • drills to strengthen your wrists and shoulders - we will do an extensive warm-up each class

  • Line drills to engage the core and work on your handstand line

  • falling safely (this is a game changer for your freestanding practice)

  • becoming a really good handstand spotter (an often under-rated skill!)

  • working with the wall

  • different ways to enter a handstand

  • learning to balance in the middle of the room on your own

  • stretching, cool down and recovery

  • How to keep it light and fun ;)

Who is teaching?

Alexis will be your teacher during this series. He has gone through the process of learning handstands as an adult and will share the tips that helped him make big steps forwards in the practice (those ahaaaaah moments) and the exercises he wishes he had known earlier :)

Our handstand philosophy at Acroyoga Vienna: we believe handstands should be fun. So while we’ll be working on drills and exercises, our focus is on enjoying the process and celebrating the moments of balance. As both acroyoga and yoga teachers, we bring in the playfulness of acroyoga and centeredness of yoga, helping you to cultivate balance inside and out.

When do we start?

The first class is on Wednesday January 8th 2025 from 17:30-18:30. The series will continue for 14 weeks until the April 9th.
