'If I lose my straddle up, the world may end'. If this feels familiar, check out this class. We'll work on training and maintaining the strength and connections you need to invert successfully so you'll be ready to fling your butt back over your head when you get back to training on the apparatus!
You'll need a mat with some extra padding (like a blanket or towel) and a theraband that can be anchored to something so you can pull on it without anything crashing on your head.
HANDSTANDITIZER: An All-Levels Handstand Conditioning Drop-in!
In this online version of Jill's regular handstand class, we will begin with her classic warm-up, extended to include more conditioning and flexibility exercises. From there, we will move on to drills that can be done in a small space to build strength, endurance and active flexibility on our hands. Beginners are welcome to join for the warm-up and drills, but are discouraged from attempting free-standing handstands in this online format. More advanced students will be challenged with free-standing assignments and evaluation of technique. An area that is at least 7' long and 5' wide is recommended. Hard flooring such as linoleum, hardwood floors, etc. are best; if your area is carpeted you can put down a board to save your wrists. It is also helpful if you have an obstacle free wall and a sturdy chair/arm of couch/table top etc. See you upside down!
Level Up Conditioning is for those aerialists who want to be even stronger and fitter when you get back on the apparatus. The class will be a mix of strength and aerobic activities designed specifically to strengthen your aerial fitness during down time from the apparatus, we will target shoulders, core and everything else. Minimum equipment: mat or towel for the floor, towel or band to pull on, and yoga blocks or dumbbells or soup cans to push off of.

Circus and aerial require a lot out of your body. Make sure your body is up to the challenge! This class will focus on protecting and strengthening your joints, and gaining the active flexibility you need to master the skills you aspire to. Each class we will focus on one of the following areas that are necessary for success: shoulder and upper back, front splits, straddles, or pike compression.
You'll need yoga blocks or a substitute. Some classes may require something that slides on the ground, like a towel if you have hard floors or a furniture slider if you have carpet.
Circuit style conditioning for all levels. Develop or maintain strength and core development for climbing, inverting and shoulder stabilizing.
For all levels: Take a break from your desk or couch and move your stuff. We will use foam rollers and peanuts in combination with mobilizing movements to improve posture, increase range of motion and decrease tension.
Keep up or build your pulling strength while you're stuck at home! This class will focus on the building the strength needed for aerial skills so you can jump back on the apparatus ASAP.

Give your shoulders the care and attention they need! As an aerialist, your shoulders may require some special attention so they can support you doing amazing things in the air. This class will focus on creating the stability and mobility you need to train challenging skills without injury!
You'll need a lacrosse or tennis ball, a light weight or water bottle, and some mini bands (I love these)
