Online Handstand Intensive

November 18 - December 16
Mondays and fridays 12pm est
60 minute classes

This small group intensive is open to 10-12 students who are looking to dedicate themselves to their handstand practice for 5 weeks. The group class meets twice per week, and each student will receive additional homework based on the strength and/or flexibility they need to achieve their goals! This intensive is specifically for students that are either starting/restarting their handstand journey or are working on balancing more consistently. If you can already balance a freestanding handstand for more than 30 seconds consistently, this likely is not the intensive for you unless you want to refine your technique.

What’s included:

• Initial assessment so Irene can cater the classes and drills to each student

• 9 group classes - Irene will lead each class with a general format, but give specific drills to each student based on their needs so that she is able to give everyone attention and feedback (recordings will be sent out, but the majority of the work will be done live so please plan to attend live when possible)

• Personalized homework to do during and after the intensive for both strength and flexibility

Prop List: 2 blocks, mat, wall space, long looped resistance band and small looped resistance band, blanket or towel, elevated surface like a chair, couch, or ottoman, weights/ankle weights or something to use as light weights (3-8lbs is a good start)!

Flexibility Training: Splits & Upper Back

November 13 - 27
Wednesdays 12-1pm est
Practice live or with the download

This series of 3 flexibility classes is focused on creating a balance of strength and flexibility with a specific focus on splits (both front and middle) and upper back. You can expect to see a variety of strength, flexibility, and mobility drills, including flexibility drills using weights. The classes will be "follow along" style, where Irene will do the entire class with you and guide you through each drill. You do not need to be a flexibility pro to enjoy these classes, but a consistent yoga or movement practice will help you get the most out of them. If you can lift up into wheel you can do these classes!

Prop List: 2+ blocks, mat, wall space, long looped resistance band and potentially a small looped resistance band, blanket or towel, elevated surface like a chair, couch, or ottoman, weights or something to use as light weights (3-8lbs is a good start)!
