When I moved to London at 17 years of age, they told me “after 1 year you will have a crisis and really miss your hometown”, never happened. Then they told me there is a crisis at 3, 5, 7 and some other numbers, also never happened. I love London, I love my hometown too but I feel I can carry everything I need within myself, including the weather ☀️✨

Merry Christmas 🎄 and wherever you are you do have everything you need 🎁.

Handstands shapes
Straight line
Straddle
&
Tuck

Each shape is a completely different world!

Depending on your strength, tendencies, flexibility or previous transferable skills a particular shape will be more accessible to you.

If your plan is to get balancing as soon as possible identify your shape stick to it and get practicing.

Bare in mind that is just a starting point, over time your practice will evolve to many more elements.

If you need more clarity join us me & .tzanis for the next handstands workshop .london .

Thats my most practice stretch! I do at least once a day in one form or another. ⁠
⁠
1-On the floor⁠
⁠
2-from sitting ⁠
⁠
3-Using the wall to support the leg.⁠
⁠
I started practicing flexibility at 6 in ballet classes, I was not super flexible, I remember doing mostly hip flexibility. So now I have good flexibility around my hips all the other joints have a bit more of catching up to do!⁠
⁠
Which is your most flexible joint?

Handstands! I love training but often get distracted and dance in between my sets. During this short city break it was very clear that endurance is not as I wished making our pics more of a challenge! Thankfully 😅 .tzanis has been practicing for both of us . Note to the self less play more practice, endurance training in on for May .

Are you interested in handstands? Next workshop .london on the 11/06 at 1pm

Side kick kneeling

I have been teaching the Pilates Masterclass & Breathing for over 4 years now!

I love how the exercises take you into a journey from fully supported in a lying down position and eventually to fully standing ready to dance into the world!

If you haven’t tried before is a must !

Every first Sunday of the Month ☀️
