Unsure of where to start your handstand journey? Or perhaps you are stuck and want guidance on building a solid foundation for more challenging skills in hand balancing? This is the perfect workshop for you. We will break the handstand down into its components and help you assess what you are missing and the best way to address it. In this workshop we will cover how to build mobile and strong shoulders, core strength and awareness, and lay out a path to work towards your freestanding handstand. You will also leave this workshop with a clear understanding of how to approach your training going forward.

Already comfortable holding your freestanding handstand and want to level up your practice? In this workshop we will solidify your existing foundation and work on more advanced skills, leading toward skills like the one arm balance and straddle press.

You will also receive ideas of how to approach your training of more advanced skills beyond this workshop.

Andrey Moraru
Inspired in my early years by martial arts movies to start developing physical skills with my body, I eventually discovered handstands. As a hand balancing performer, I started my professional journey at a College of Circus and Variety Arts in Kiev, Ukraine in the early 2000’s. Since then I have traveled the world performing hand balance, dance and acrobatics. I also won awards at Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris and performed at special events with Cirque Du Soleil in UAE. My teaching journey began in 2011 and by working with beginner level practitioners, it helped me to gain a completely different understanding of my own craft. I am happy to share it at HUB Zone with Dr. Robert Adams, who was at first my handstand student and from whom I continue to learn much about anatomy and functionality of the human body. Together, we established The Handstand School and developed an expanded system of learning and training hand balancing which provides a clear path toward successfully overcoming many of the challenges on the way to mastering handstands.
Dr. Robert Adams, PT, DPT, OCS
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, hand balancer, and teacher, I combine clinical insight with a decade of coaching and teaching experience to guide students toward greater awareness, resilience, and confidence. My movement journey began in 2013, teaching yoga and discovering how powerful intentional practice can be. Through yoga, I started to teach myself how to hold a handstand as an adult. In 2016, fell in love with a more playful, strength-based approach to skill work—especially handstands–at Ape Co Movement school in Colorado where I currently train and teach. Since then, I have continued to study the discipline of hand balancing, working with performance artists and teachers like Andrey Moraru to refine my craft. My teaching centers on assessing each student’s unique limitations to create a path forward that supports sustainable progress. Having learned hand balancing as an adult has given me more tools and understanding of how to not only build the physical base for success but also address the fears and other psychological aspects of balancing on your hands. When I’m not coaching or practicing physical therapy, I’m usually baking, reading fantasy books, or hiking somewhere off the beaten path.
