It may seem like the black magic of body weight skills but the steps to achieving a rock solid handstand are anything but shrouded in mystery.

Furthermore you need not spend 5 hours a day handstand training and be ushered into the circus at age 3 to enjoy the benefits and joy of being upside down on your hands. 

The truth is almost anyone can learn. And a successful practice session can be done in as little as 30-60 minutes using the tried and tested principles, methods and training techniques of professional hand balancers.

After watching an amazing yogi do a handstand press, handstands have been a personal challenge and obsession of mine for the last 3 years. After mild success I searched for a coach to help lift me higher. Handstand training with Sundi has taken my practice and ability to the next level!

I have had a consistent yoga practice now for around 7 years. For all of this time, I had my heart on one day wanting to get into handstand….

But I kept kicking up, and falling over….  I never REALLY improved, no matter how hard I tried in my yoga classes. 

Then I met Sundi, and I did his 6 week handstand course. Within a month my handstand practice changed forever. Within a few months I was nailing handstands, and now, after all this time of falling over, I can hold a straight handstand for 1 minute, and also a wide leg handstand (image above).

I am a structured person and I needed someone to give me tools and routines that I can implement to allow me to achieve my goals. Sundi gave me this and I am forever grateful. Sundi is not only an awesome handstand teacher, but an all-round amazing human. I now teach some of his techniques for handstands and it has changed my knowledge and understanding around the anatomy of handstands.

Sundi comes to the Brave studio every now-and-again to teach handstands too, so look out for his workshops! I have learned so much, and I am excited to share my wonderful learnings with you all http://braveyoga.com.au/about-us

I sought out Sundi's coaching as I was preparing for the grueling audition to get into NICA (national institute of circus arts). We worked twice per week for 3 months to prepare my body, mind and technique for the handstand portion of the audition. ( I got ACCEPTED into NICA by the way)

The results speak for themselves. I started off with an absolute maximum of 20 sec for my best handstand (when I could actually get up and hold it) and with very average shape, consistency and control.

Now after only 3 months of hard training following Sundi’s guidance and expert tuition I am able to kick-up into a and hold a solid straight handstand for 1 min with great consistency and in a far more pleasing alignment, I also went from barely being able to straddle up or tuck up into a handstand to being able to complete 10/10 of both entries in a row in my audition. I also greatly exceeded my previous wall hold endurance time on the same day too due to the programming I was provided with.

I am extremely happy with my results. Sundi is a fantastic teacher, very methodical with great attention to detail. He is also very committed personally to his students progress and well being.

I give sundi my highest recommendation to those wanting to learn to handstand or for pushing the boundaries of their existing skill set.

Benefit from the countless of hours of intensive training I have completed learning from some of the most trusted and respected practicioners In the hand balancing community to fast track your progress.

I have spent a decade researching and road testing the very best of handstand practices and techniques Sought out from world class hand balancers and coaches.

Two years training full time under Australia’s top acrobatic trainers and authorities at Australia's largest circus school NICA (The National Institute of Circus Arts) specialising in handstands has shown me what simply works and what does not.

I have synthesised these teachings and this wisdom into a simple and fool proof training approach that will get you into a free standing handstand and beyond in a very safe and efficient manner.

Handstand Classes, Workshops and Short Courses Melbourne

For all things related to the wonderful world of hand balancing and handstands, handstand classes, handstand workshops and handstand short courses Suby Handstands has got you covered in Melbourne.

Whether you want to work in a group setting with Melbourne based handstand classes or Melbourne based handstand short courses or on a one to one basis with private handstand lessons you are going to experience growth in your practice.

Many people believe that the best way to progress their handstand is to repeat the same thing over and over again thinking that one day it will lead to some sort of miracle and finally click. I can tell you best way to progress is in fact to practice, but to practice the RIGHT things for your specific level, awareness and body. This is the way forward in your handstand training.

Participating in handstand classes or private handstand lessons is the best way to find the keys to unlock the gates to progress and stop experiencing frustration and fear in your handstand practice.

So you’ve mastered handstand at the wall and are ready to take it to the middle of the room? But every time you hop up, it feels like you can only hold the pose for a nanosecond. What gives? How can you learn to stick your balance in the center of the room?

If you’re looking to move your handstand away from the wall, odds are you’re already familiar with kicking up into the pose. Even so, starting with a solid, well-aligned foundation and kicking up with confidence can strongly increase your chances of balancing in handstand.

Press handstands are one of the coolest gymnastics/acrobatic skills out there

They are a demonstration of control, power and body awareness that can be done virtually anywhere.

Press handstand is a beautiful skill but one that is made up of many physical attributes. Flexibility, core strength, shoulder strength, skill and technique all equally play an important role. Having coaching to assess which area's you individually need to develop is vital to learn press to handstand safely and efficiently. I can help you put together a training plan to achieve your inversion, arm balance and hand balancing goals.

Tuck handstand is another awesome skill to work on.

As the name implies, a Tuck handstand is a bent leg position where the knees are pulling towards the chest, versus a handstand where the legs are fully extended with toes pointing directly towards the sky.

It helps to develop correct should alignment, shoulder strength, shoulder flexibility and is the gateway to many other cool handstand shapes. There is 2-3 amazing handstand drills that drastically help develop tuck handstand.

What about handstand pushups? A brilliant display of body control and raw power.

Just like you wouldn’t want someone performing a ton of kipping pull-ups when they don’t have the strength to do one strict pull-up, we don’t want someone doing a ton of kipping handstand push-ups if they don’t have the strength to do a strict handstand push-up. The shoulder strength required to complete a handstand push-up is great, and some may not have that strength just yet. Have no fear, I have created a simple training program to help you build your upper body strength to reach the goal of obtaining a strict handstand push-up. With dedication, patience and hard work, you too can successfully attain the handstand pushup.

As soon as you’re able to balance a handstand by the wall for just a few seconds without using the wall for support, it’s time to start adding some freestanding handstand exercises to your practice. BUT don’t leave the wall behind entirely just yet, it will still be one of the most useful tools for awhile to help maintain your conditioning and continue developing sound balance mechanics.

It can seem both terrifying and impossible to move your handstand practice away from the wall. Because what’s gonna happen if you fall? Some parts of the fear of falling out of a handstand are rational, others are entirely irrational.

let me help you address and overcome the rational fear of falling when you practice the freestanding handstand.

Learn how to handstand by learning :

How to fall

The benefits of going upside down

The muscles worked in a handstand

How to warm up before doing a handstand

As for how long it'll take you to master a handstand? It's pretty individual. Some will get it right away, while it takes a lot longer for others. Remember that it’s as much a mental discipline as a physical one and keep trying, knowing that you will get there.
