The 6-Week Inverted Backbends Handstand Course with Adell
A structured, science-backed, community-fuelled deep dive into scorpion and hollowback shapes in handstands. Build awareness, range of motion, balance, and intentionality to your shoulders, spine, and hips in handstand.
This work will be an aid to your overall handstand practice.
Prerequisites
You’re comfortable being in a handstand against a wall for about 10 seconds or more -- that's it! No other prior training in handstands required. We're a beginner friendly bunch 😊
You have no injuries that prevent weight-bearing on hands
You're curious about exploring new shapes and ways of moving
What's Included
12 live classes — 2 per week for 6 weeks
Unlimited access to all recordings + a library of handstand drills videos until October 2027
Membership to the Handstand Club Community (aka your new hype squad and where you can get feedback from Adell)
This is for you if you…
Want structure, clarity, and expert eyes on your practice
Struggle with consistency or motivation and need a friendly nudge
Crave a programme rooted in sports science + neurology, not guesswork
Want to work on your active flexibility for splits, and apply it upside-down
Love training with a coach who sees details you didn’t even know existed
🗓️ When + Where
Tuesday 8 Sept - Friday 16 October on Zoom
Day 1 of each week (Scorpion - Open Hips, Closed Shoulders)
Day 2 of each week (Hollowback - Closed Hips, Open Shoulders)
Each session is about 90 minutes + Q&A time afterwards
The first four weeks will take place on Tuesdays at 17:00 UTC and Saturdays at 11:00 UTC
On last two weeks, Saturday classes will move to Friday at 11:00UTC
How It Works
Progressive drills to build the strength, control, and coordination required for inverted backbends
Learn how different shoulder and hip positions affect balance — and how to use that information instead of fighting it
Active flexibility training designed specifically for upside-down work
A smart, structured deload week so you build resilience, not burnout
-
Equal emphasis on muscular capacity and neurological awareness (aka the stuff that makes handstands feel surprisingly easy)
Why It Works
Accountability — you’re training alongside others, not alone in your living room
Expert drills — we're training, not just randomly trying
Flexibility — train live, or use the recordings anytime
Community energy — stay motivated, supported, and celebrated
What This Really Is
Not “just online classes.”
It’s a collaboration.
It’s clarity around shapes that usually feel confusing.
It's us, working together so your handstand practice feels intentional, expressive, and something you actually look forward to.
This is NOT for you if…
You want a passive course with no feedback
You’re looking for quick wins without doing the reps
You don’t enjoy being coached with kindness, honesty, and some nerdiness
By the end of the 6 weeks you will…
Feel more aware of how to jump into handstand and hold different positions
Have a better understanding of how lower body position influences balance and line
Have tools to continue developing spinal extension, hip extension, and shoulder control
Feel more coordinated, expressive, and in control in your handstands
Leave with a clear practice plan for continuing beyond the course
