This beginners’ assessment will help you develop an understanding and awareness of how to do a handstand against the wall. Through this assessment, Sammy will be able to measure your flexibility (both active and passive), your strength and ensure you start developing this skill in a safe and healthy way. You will be asked to record and photograph yourself doing various exercises and in various positions to enable Sammy to study your body, its limitations and its capabilities.

Have you been learning handstands for a while but are unable to master the press?
A difficult but rewarding element of handstand practice is the elusive press which requires control, strength and discipline. Many handbalancers struggle for years to achieve this as they are unable to understand what is missing from their practice. While this won’t have you pressing immediately, it will give you the technique and understanding needed to start integrating these exercises into your daily practice. The assessment includes a detailed study of your strength and flexibility to enable Sammy to analyse your current ability and provide a report and programme that will have you working on flexibility, mobility, compression, strength and balance.
