Learn Handstands and other Gymnastics Skills in Vancouver. 

Handstand classes

The handstands classes are designed for people of all levels and ages. We learn handstands starting with the theory on the handstand technique, continuing with handstand drills, and doing handstand itself.

Gymnastics Flexibility

To improve flexibility and become flexible like a gymnast you need to learn the correct stretching technique. Without the correct stretching form progress can take years, whereas with the good stretching form you can see significant improvements in months.

Gymnastics Conditioning

These gymnastics like bootcamps designed to improve your fitness with the best gymnastics drills aiming the overall body development such as strength, power, stamina, flexibility, mobility, coordination and balance. It is a tough but fun form of fitness classes.

I have no experience 

I design all my gymnastics classes mostly for people with little or no prior experience. My main goal is to show you a different way to move your body. The way that will allow you to perform more complex movements with much less effort. It is done through learning the biomechanics of your body and choosing only its optimal solutions for skills such as handstands and the likes.

Am I too old?

The age certainly puts some limitations on what we can do, mostly due to prior injuries or ongoing health complications. But rather than that, anybody of any age is capable of performing complex movements. The oldest living gymnast I am aware of is Johanna Quaas, born November 20, 1925. She is currently 96 years old. So no, you are not too old. 

I have injuries 

Injuries can certainly limit what we can do with the body. The main concern is ongoing acute injuries that cause pain even at rest. With those, we shall not exercise, seek medical attention, and rest. If your injuries occurred in the distant past (a year or two ago) and cause you no pain unless you move in a certain way then we can try. I always modify the drills individually during my classes to make sure that everyone is safe. 

Is it too intense?

Typically my classes are designed to learn new mechanics of the body’s movements. And the drills are performed to reinforce the new patterns and make them automated. For that reason, I pay less attention to the intensity piece of the class and more to the learning part.
