1st Saturday of every month
Hand- to-Hand
12-1:30 pm - $30
Have you been chasing your hand-to-hand? This class is dedicated specifically to taking your hand-to-hand, and foot-to-hand, from the ground to standing! We will work specific drills to gain stability, stamina, and calmness in both poses. We will also work on entrances and exits as we progress.
prereqs: 30-second handstand against the wall. 1 min plank, L-basing f2h, and 2-high.
Coming with a partner is highly recommended but not required.
Coached by Kraig Mead and Angela Bryant

2nd Saturday of every month
Handstands with Nikki
12:30-1:30 pm - $20
Let’s face some hard truths:
1) You could be doing more handstands
2) I could be doing more handstands
Let’s address this sore lack of handstands together in a class led by Nikki. Who is Nikki you ask? From 2015-2019 Nikki trained handstands and hand-to-hand under the instruction of Jean Luc Martin at San Diego Circus Center. She was doing handstands all the time. Under such a knowledgeable eye she honed the skill, learned what to prioritize in training, and became a great handstand spotter herself (big brag, she knows).
Come to class to work hard. We will focus on alignment, presses progressions and handstand conditioning with the overall goal of being smarter on your hands. One class a month is a great way to start building personal accountability and have drills to work during the month.
