Handstands Online

Hello Ea, Thank you very much for posting your question. I think it is really great that you are adjusting the program to your own speed, that is really essential as the course is made for a wide range of people. Every persons body is different though. The first Episodes contain a lot of exercises t...

Hello Veena,

I have notified my tech wizard to fix this.

In the meantime you can send a Youtube link or send me an email with the file to nataliereckert ((at) hotmail . de

Hello Veena,

Please try one more time.

I have changed the maximum upload size to 1MB.

The other option is to send a link to an uploaded youtube video that you can mark as unlisted so that only people who have the link can see it.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello Veena, Thank you for asking so many great questions :) Well done also to making it as far as Episode 4!

The kick up exercise is a really important one so it is worth spending time to get i...

Hello Oliver, It is not a problem at all if your heels lift. You need to be relatively flexible to keep your heels on the floor and most people's heels will lift in the beginning. Which is also a good thing because you will feel that it stretches both your claves and your achilies. Also, anatomicall...

Hello Michael, Thank you first of all for your very nice words about my teaching. I would love to have more subscribers, spread the word :) I general I would say that the best way to increase handstand endurance is by practicing handstand endurance. Your body needs to be exposed to the handstand pos...

Hello and great that you have moved on to the next part. When you say your leg and the head is touching, do you mean that happens in the kick up exercise? Your head should never be touching the wall :) Yes, when you put your hands down on the floor you should have the wrists above the shoulders and ...
