HANDSTANDS FOR BEGINNERS THIS SATURDAY

24 Apr

Want to get better at handstands?

Want to learn to get into one?

Want to learn to balance in one?

Or do you simply want to go upside-down without freaking out?

Crossfit Portland has two workshops coming up that’ll put you on the path to do all this, and more.

Nicolo Kehrwald will be conducting Beginning Handstand and Intermediate Handstand workshops this Saturday, April 28.

Attendance in each is capped at 10 so all attendees can receive direct and personal attention.

Handstands for Beginners
Time: 11:30-2 p.m.
This workshop will help you learn handstand-specific body awareness as well as teach you how to kick up, bail out, and balance using your wrists.

It will feature handstand specific warm-up, body-line and core awareness drills, various kicking up and bailing out drills, some one-on-one hand-spotting with the instructor and partners, and finally handstand conditioning and endurance work.

Pre-req: Absolute beginners totally welcome!

Cost: $60/members, $75/non-members.

Intermediate Handstand
Time: 2:30-5:30 p.m.

Okay, so you have a handstand for a couple seconds.

Are you ready to take it to the next level?

This workshop will focus primarily on hand-spotting the straight handstand as well as various handstand shapes, such as the tuck and butterfly.

Fundamentals of press handstand work as well as one-arm handstand basics will also be covered. Expect one-on-one hand-spotting from the instructor as well as partner-assisted stretching, handstand conditioning, and handstand endurance work.

Pre-requisite: Must be able to hold 5-second free handstand.

Cost: $70 for members. $85 for non-members.
