Stuck? Just Ask Yuri.
Free access to our members-only support group dedicated to ensure you’re making progress. Here Yuri critiques & gives advice on your handstand videos.
So I think you’re actually on the right track with what you’re doing in the third video. I generally don’t recommend elevating your feet on a mat because you don’t want to get used to having that.
In the 2nd video you’re going into it too fast.
In the third video you were more or less doing the right thing. Setting your hands down and gradually kicking higher and higher.
Make sure that you land with your foot underneath your hips, if you’re moving further away then the landing will be much heavier

What Are Students Saying?
I've been in search of a good handstand teacher and have found many online or on youtube that are not nearly as detailed and professional. Happy with this so far.

I am almost through the first course and it was very helpful. The frog stand with wrist strengthening/conditioning is clearly the missing pieces of what I needed.

Really new here and never posted before so I thought I would share a little win of mine! I practiced handstands for MONTHS before finding this class. Not even kidding, simply learning some proper wrist conditioning and the actual “sensation” to look for when trying to find balance (the weight shifting from front to back of the palm) was a COMPLETE game changer for me. Like WOW. Even though my hold in the balance is still only a few seconds. The FEELING in the handstand already feels insanely better. I am SO excited about this and can’t wait to share some more wins in the future. Thanks for sharing your wisdom Yuri!! 🤩🙏

So far I've completed the first course which has been a blast. I found the info to be very helpful and also Yuri is an awesome teacher as he keeps things precise but so simple to understand and easy to implement. You guys have all my respect for the great work you do.

I’ve completed the first one and looking forward to the second one. The topics of learning to fall were great. I had lots of self talk about breaking my neck. Connecting it to a kart wheel was a big game changer for me. Completed my first freestanding handstand today too after watching it ...few seconds… But we will get there. Haha

I thought the videos were very helpful. And the way you cut it so that they’re all short is a good idea because then my mind couldn’t tell me I didn’t have time to watch such a long video. I have already got a couple things that I think will make all the difference in my handstand training. I am very grateful for the course because I think it’s going to help me a lot.
