Re: Episode 2: L-shape - hips above shoulders
Hello Sara, Great that you checked out the circus phisio sites, some of my non-professional students made good experience with both. Don't feel out of place just because you are not a professional :) At the end of the day, it is all about getting to know your body better. Good to hear that your are ...

Re: Prepare for handstands
Hello Mattias, Thank you for asking a question and for buying the course :) You round your back really well as you start, which is great. Step two, after rounding your back is to open the shoulders.

Re: Episode 2: L-shape - hips above shoulders
Hi Sara, That sounds great and well done for trying it all. Good that the diagonal works for you. Bodys are all so different, the L-shape works really well for most and not at all for some. From your what you describe about your shoulder mobility I think the stretch on the wall with arms stretched o...

Re: Holding a handstand on the wall
Hello Sara, Sorry I just saw this. Thank you for posting here and from the problems you describe in the other post, your shoulders are tight. Because your shoulders are tight your elbows are bending in an attempt to keep the shoulders overhead. They are trying to get "around" the tight spo...

Re: Episode 2: L-shape - hips above shoulders
Hello Sara, Thank you so much for psoting your questions and for sharing your experience. L-shape: It sounds like your shoulders are a bit tight. A good shoulder opening for handstands is when you lift the arms above the head and you can get them to almost straight above you without the ribs flaring...

Re: [day 24 / day 25] kick up with head on the wall
Dear Erica, Thank you very much for your question and for your lovely words! Thank you also for sending the links to the videos, that helps me to understand what the problem is.

Re: Structure for 7 weeks beginner, medium and advanced
Hello, In general I would say listen to your body. Rest days are tricky because it really depends on the person. Some people have done one day training and one day off with this course. Others did 4-5 days a week and then two or one rest day. I personally like to train two days, then rest for one, t...
