WHY WORK WITH ME?
Figuring out your handstand is like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. We are all missing different pieces of the puzzle and my job is to figure out what’s missing in yours.
I am energised by problem-solving and am willing to go the extra mile to help you understand what the missing pieces are in your handstand. I have also been told to have “a good eye” to see what you need to work on to improve meaningfully.
Most importantly, I am still actively trying to learn more about the discipline and figure out the best ways to convey different concepts to my students.
I find that I work best with people who
- Struggle to find body tension in space, especially dancers and yogis
- Need to satisfy their intellectual curiosity about handstands
And if you feel like we are a good fit, I’d love to work with you!
