Through Kit's focused drills, playful progressions, and expert guidance, you'll build strength, improve technique, and gain the confidence to explore your handstand journey with more freedom and clarity. Kit brings a thoughtful and empowering approach that meets you exactly where you are—making this morning the perfect mix of challenge, support, and upside-down fun.

This session is all about helping you work smarter in your own handstand training.
