AloMoves – Flight

Instructor : Elvis Garcia

Flight teaches you to look at daily yoga poses through the lens of the handstand. You will learn how the poses you do in your everyday practice can be used to train a handstand.

This series combines strength drills and progressions with everyday yoga postures to help you develop the strength, concentration, and muscle memory required to balance on your hands and ultimately move into handstand. No previous handstand experience is required for this plan. You will use the basic foundational yoga poses, such as downward facing dog, to learn handstand basics and build confidence before ever going upside down.

Flight includes eight classes that are intended to be practiced in order. The first three 15-20 minute drill classes promote strength and teach you proper shoulder, spine, and core alignment for handstands. You will take your learnings from these drill classes and apply them in a 60-minute flow class. The second half of this plan targets L-shape, tuck, and handstand in three, short drill classes. Flight ends with another 60-minute flow class to solidify your learnings.

Balancing in a handstand will test your strength, concentration, and patience, but those who dare to take off will benefit from a whole new perspective. Flight is ideal for beginner to intermediate yogis who want to learn to balance on their hands.
