online calisthenics Feb 11, 2022

The fitness world is full of tricks and programs to help you lose weight. 

They all promise amazing results in 4 weeks and lots of people fall into  those traps.

Is Calisthenics Art?

online calisthenics Jan 17, 2022
 

Would you consider calisthenics art?

By calisthenics I mean it in its original sense, from the greek words "Kalos", beautiful, and "Sthenos", strength.

Beautiful Strength.

And if not an art, then it's definitely a meditation tool.

I learned to handstand by meditating without knowing I was meditating.

Learning to handstand allows us to tangibly feel the joy of balance. It requires focus, consistency and patience.

I have built the handstand program based on those principles and I strongly recommend learning how to do handstand to everyone.

You have access to the program inside your membership.

In the end, hand balancing is all about details.

Here is a slow motion video, where you can see every small adjustments that are needed while we are standing upside down.
