My Handstand Journey

My journey into the world of handstands began as an adult back in 2018 when I was 25 years old. Embracing this endeavor presented its own unique set of challenges, but the rewards have been immeasurable. Exploring the art of handbalancing has provided me with profound insights into myself, unlike any other sport or activity I’ve pursued in the past.

Ultimately, I’m just a guy who finds sheer joy in defying gravity and embracing life upside-down. I aspire to share this passion with the world. My mission is to inspire and assist others in cultivating their own practice, enabling them to thrive and excel in the art of handbalancing.

Handstand Coaching

In my coaching approach, simplicity and playfulness reign supreme.

I offer clear explanations, technical guidance, and cultivate a coach’s mindset to help you navigate the intricate world of handstands.

Beyond instructing technique and physicality, I foster an environment where thinking, feeling, exploring, and playing are integral components.

Handstands, to me, transcend beyond physical practice. It is a form of expression.

I encourage you to not only master the mechanics but also delve into the deeper realms of self-discovery and creativity.
