Hi everyone! Thanks for your interest in this ~75minute long Frontbending session.
Wait, what the hell is Frontbending?
Well, as the name suggests, it is basically bending, but not backwards as in “Backbending” but to the front.
But isn’t that just Forward Folding?
Yes and no. Folding is one of many themes in Frontbending. So we not only fold forward, but we also use our hips, knees and our ancles. Even our shoulders and our spine. And the spine not only in a flexion but also in an extension! The reason why we call it *Front*-bending, is, because usually all of those things can theoretically be combined with folding. Or at least the tendency is to go the front and not to the back. Have you ever seen a person with her leg behind the head? Yes? Well the leg behind game is almost a more significant signature of Frontbending than mere Folding.
But no worries! For this session you don’t have to be able to bring your leg behind. Quite on the contrary, in this session we will try to safely but progressively work towards deeper folds on the one hand and deeper external rotations on the other hand. So the road we take will be the road towards leg behinds, without leg behinds being necessarily part of the session themselves.
That being said, I think that a little bit of experience with yoga or stretching would be helpful to get the most out of this class 🙂
Now, without further ado, let’s gooo🔥

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining today’s class. In this ~60minute long session we are going to work on multiple things. Among them:
*Endurance:* Working on longer holds
*Form:* Working on a more beautiful handstand line
*Balance:* Going beyond basic free balancing holds
*Strength:* Going beyond the statical pencil (straight handstand) hold
Moreover, by having a look on certain flexibility and strengthening drills, we will also work on a good foundation on which we develop our handbalancing skill upon.
Sounds like a lot! But no worries, by using our best friend in handbalancing -the wall- we can modify things and, by that, make it more accessible 🙂 Still, little bit of experience with handbalancing would for sure be helpful. I really don’t think that you need to have a free handstand hold. But it would be good if you could walk up and down the wall ~approximately comfortably.
That being said, enjoy the handstand journey 🙂

Hello and welcome!
Today´s session is all about improving our folds, while still practicing in a holistic manner. This means, that we will still touch on other things, like backbends, twists & side stretches, but mainly insofar as it compliments our today´s folding game. This session is designed for a beginner to intermediate level, although it is more on the intermediate side of things. So I would say this session is perfect for you if you want to level your folding game up from a beginner to an intermediate level. It is not ideal if it is your very first folding class. Moreover , I recommend to practice this session somewhat regularly to see quick results and ideally with an empty stomach.
Besides of that, enjoy the stretch 🙂
