Fun on Your Hands - Workshops!
The Role of Mobility in Your Handstands How do we position the hips when our body is upside down? Why are some shoulders not "open"? Why do we hear about wrist injuries when working on handstands? Joint strength, or a lack thereof, is accountable for the discomfort/pain we might sometimes feel in our wrists and shoulders. A poor range of motion in our joints might explain why the same handstand can look different on everyone. Not understanding how your joints come into play when working on a handstand might, unintentionally, inhibit your overall progress towards achieving one. In this workshop, we bring in the significance of one's mobility in relation to handstand training. Learn the nuances behind how our joints affect the different shapes of a handstand and work your way to improving yours! Coach: Edric & Sheryl Date/Time: 17 Dec, 2:30 - 4:30PM Cartwheel 101 - Workshop Here's something fun for everyone - a highly-requested cartwheel workshop! How do you bring yourself over on your hands? Where do your legs go? What should you do with the rest of your body? In this workshop, we break down the movement pattern of what a cartwheel is and have you work towards it progressively. We will guide you on the transferring of weight onto your hands, bringing your legs down in time to land safely, and the coordinating of your body while performing the movement. Piecing the different parts together, learn the fundamentals of this fun skill to wow your friends & family - just in time for the holidays!

Wrists & Elbows Workshop:
Prevention, Restoration, Application Injuries - everyone has had their share of them. They hurt, are debilitating, and can be frustrating to manage. You resort to weekly sports massages, hot and cold treatments, joint guards etc., all in a bid to "fix" the pain and yet, it continues to flare up, preventing you to achieve more. When does this end? In this 2-part "Wrists & Elbows: Prevention, Restoration, Application" workshop, we address specifically on the wrists and elbows - two joints often weakened and injured by all that we do and yet, not receiving proper, adequate care. With their own range of motion and supporting musculature, your wrists and elbows CAN be trained too. Part I: Prevention & Restoration
Coach: Alvin Date/Time: 6 August 2023, 2:30 - 4:30pm Part II: Prevention & Application Developing stronger joints translates to greater resiliency in your wrists and elbows. As much as we train for advanced skills like the planche and press, if our wrists hurt when doing so, are we really addressing all the strength work that is required? If our elbows feel like they're constantly getting wrung, how much load can they further withstand?
