This 50-minute handstand routine is designed for intermediate practitioners with some prior handstand experience (no free-standing handstand required, but you should have some familiarity with the overall handstand line and basic alignment). The focus of this class is on building strength, confidence and routine through intelligent conditioning work on handstand entries, finding the line, and exits. By repeating key patterns, working into compression and consistently loading the body in supportive ways, the practice helps you develop more stability, control and ease in your handstand over time. We start with a longer, well-structured warm-up that combines functional strength work, mobility elements and gentle nervous system preparation - helping your body feel supported, stable and ready before going upside down. Throughout the warm-up, we already begin to prepare key body lines, integrate shoulder and core activation, and gradually introduce compression work to support more efficient and controlled handstand practice. The main part of the class focuses on four different handstand entries, each practiced through multiple repetitions to build familiarity, strength and confidence. Compression and shoulder stability work follows afterwards to support lighter entries, better control and a stronger connection between core, shoulders and hips.
