Learn Handstands Together in Community

Have you ever once seen someone in a yoga class go into a headstand or a handstand and wondered what it s like to find that control and presence in such an unconventional position?

Has that ever made you question why ancient or 20th century yoga masters felt the inclination to get upside down or hand balance in the first place?

Well, you can come explore those questions somatically in community with me and other students through Habitual handstands!

This exciting and challenging practice will use a platform of play and presence to deepen your mind-body awareness; build strength, mobility, and alignment; revitalize the body; and give you the kind of confidence only balance can!

Come ready to check in, warm up, play, breathe and connect to this mindful community!

See you upside down!"

Meet your Habitual guide!

Hi! I m Stan,
Having discovered a great talent, I began practicing calisthenics (foundational bodyweight strength training for gymnastics) 7 months ago. Prior to that, I had been an intermediate yogi for about five months, after growing up with soccer and weight training. Athletics and movement have been a perennial of mental strength, joy, energy, and wellness for me.
Since I started, I have quickly progressed from novice movements and am now making substantial progress towards three highly-coveted advanced moves this year: pike press handstand, front lever, and planche.
It is not common to be considering those movements without at least one or two years of experience. I have attended several balancing classes myself and gained personal advice and instruction directly from coaches. Having access to several coaches, I can be confident that with their input, my exercises are appropriate and effective.
Currently I am also studying for certifications in fitness coaching, nutrition, and habit transformation from the ISSA. I recently completed Habitual Roots conscious leadership training and bring to this new context hundreds of hours of training and facilitating experience from political field work. I love to coach people and intend to create an exciting, inviting, mindful, and evolutionary learning environment.

See you upside down!
