I didn't update things on this page yet, but JBT will sadly be closing in Hawaii after this month!

I wrote a bit more about it on Instagram, that you can see here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFjqf3Uu3ns/

Thank you for all of the support over the years!

5 Years of Handstand Group!

It's hard to believe we've been running this group for 5 years now. Thank you to everyone who is or has been a part of it.

It's been such a pleasure being able to work on handstands with everyone. We've been blessed with such an open group coming together. I love the chill-yet-serious, relaxed-but-striving atmosphere of our classes that, to me, feels conducive for handstand training in the long-term. 👊😎

Thanks for coming out and surprising me again!
I am always so grateful to you all who make time in your busy schedules to come work on something like handstands. It is a reminder to me every week that there is magic in the world. 🪄🎩✨️

I’m starting to find longer balances. This handstand journey is teaching me a lot about patience and practice. In earlier posts I talk about the journey being so much fun. I have to be honest, it’s not always fun. Sometimes I wish the progress would come faster. But it’s teaching me to trust the process every day. Also, to truly understand that patience doesn’t mean chilling out. Rather working hard and trusting.

Having an experienced, patient and encouraging coach there by my side, every step of the process has been invaluable. I’ve been with Coach John for two years. I can’t wait to see how much further we will go.✨✨✨✨✨✨

Side splits are really coming along!

Vanessa has been chipping away at her middle splits for a while now and the results are coming in. She started at a decent range already but it is very cool to see progress happening from mostly just 3 sets of middle split work per week. Not everyone's programming will be like this, but it's nice to see progress happening without having to dedicate too much time to it if we're patient and consistent!
