Handstand Weekend Workshops with Ulrik Fossum

Fundamental Handstand Workshop

> Day 1 – March 14th, 2026; 12:00pm – 02:30pm
> Day 2 – March 15th, 2026; 12:00pm – 02:30pm

Have you always wanted to do a handstand, but not sure where to start? Or maybe you can do a handstand but kick-ups are inconsistent or does your form have room for improvement? Ulrik is teaching a two day handstand workshop in which you will learn the beautiful art of standing on your hands!

The goal for this workshop is for every participant to understand exactly what they need to practice on their own in order to take their current handstand practice to the next level, or get into a practice in the first place.
  • Understanding the handstand practice
  • Mobility for proper alignment and efficiency
  • How to balance
  • How to kick into handstand
  • Handstand shapes
  • Relevant fundamental handstand drills & exercises
  • Individualized feedback & recommendations
  • Summary and Q&A
  • Who is This For?
This workshop is best suited for those who are inconsistent with a 10-20 seconds freestanding straight handstand, or want to improve form and understanding of the practice. It’s totally fine if you start at a very basic level. Everyone must start somewhere! It will also give value to those who can do a handstand, but are inconsistent with it or have room to improve their form. There are no hard pre-reqs, but you need to be curious and interested in learning handstands and it’s recommended to be able to do a 30 seconds handstand facing the wall.

Intermediate Handstand Workshop

> Day 1 – March 14th, 2026; 03:30pm – 06:30pm
> Day 2 – March 15th, 2026; 03:30pm – 06:30pm

The intermediate workshop will be a natural progression of the Fundamental Handstand Workshop. What comes after a consistent straight handstand? Well, moving your legs around into shapes that will challenge your shoulders, coordination and balance. Learning how to press into a handstand, and one beautiful day stand on one hand or repping out stalder presses?

We will adjust the topics based on the level of the participants, but the workshop should be a good fit for calisthenic athletes with high ambitions of a handstand mastery.
  • Joint preparation and mobility
  • Kick-up and balance
  • Shape coordination
  • Pike and pancake flexibility and compression
  • Press to handstand
  • Intro to OAHS
  • Individual training and feedback
  • How to apply this to your own practice
  • Summary and Q&A
  • Who is This For?
You will get the most out of this workshop if you already can balance in straight for 20+ seconds with some consistency. Bonus points if you are familiar with tuck and other fundamental shapes. If you are not there yet, you can still participate and get a better understanding of what your handstand future will bring, but accept that you won’t be able to do everything we will cover. Pre-requisites include a consistent entrance and 20 sec+ straight handstand
