Handstand Classes – Pep NeBot

The beginner handstand classes are designed for anyone who wants to develop a safe, strong, and joyful introduction to inversions. No prior experience is needed—only curiosity, patience, and the willingness to explore your body in new ways. The goal is to build a solid foundation, so you feel confident, supported, and progressively more balanced on your hands.

Each class follows a clear structure, combining technique, strength-building, and embodied awareness:
