Damn, was I looking forward to meeting this girl, Mihaela Karkia! A few months back I saw one of her Instagram posts, where she was doing a pretty advanced sequence going down from a figa and pressing back up on one arm. I sent the post to my coach, Emmet Louis, with the hashtag lifegoals. […]
We are back! After a short summer break I’m excited to share all of the Kiev goodness with you! So for the next few weeks I’ll give you the different perspectives and stories of handbalancers who train at the place where some of the best handbalancers in the world are made. Today I’ll talk to […]
This episode is about a little hero I met here in Kiev. Kim just finished her first year at the Circus School and tells us about what she’s experiencing, being in one of the best schools (or probably even THE best school) for handbalance. I knew her a little from Instagram, but when I met […]
We’ve been hanging out in Kiev and literally training our butts off and our shoulders on for about a week now. And since we’re surrounded by amazing handbalancers 24/7 we came up with a fun idea: Why not do a Q&A with all of us, answering some of the questions we hear often? So in […]
How exciting to meet Ulrik again after such a long time. It’s been about a year since our first interview (click here if you haven’t seen it yet). He came to Vienna to perform at the “Bodyweight Day”, a big bodyweight training convention, where different sports an disciplines meet. And afterwards he gave a workshop […]
Little did I know what meeting Max (@max_handbalancing) would lead to… As on every trip, Ivo and I were going to meet some handbalancers we had been connecting with through Instagram. So when we went to Amsterdam to spend New Years with my family, we checked out the people that would be in the area. […]
What an honor to have had the chance to connect with this kind and amazing handstand teacher – Yuval Ayalon. I had already met him about a year ago, when he came to Vienna to give a workshop. Back then I had just freshly started to practice handstands and was at the very begining stage […]
My stay in Portugal didn’t only lead to wisdom from INAC’s handbalance teacher, Mauricio Jara (check his interview here). It also lead to meeting his students, a whole bunch of likeminded people with very interesting stories. One of them, named Neven Gerenčir, I had been following for quite a while. I was really looking forward […]
First time I saw a post of Mau Jara on Instagram (@maujara) just a few months back, I was amazed. This guy was staying on his hands forever, was jumping onto his hands on tables and playing around. And it looked as if all the strength moves were just another random thing for him. At […]
I was really looking forward to this episode. Paul Twyman, one of the owners of Aspen Coaching in Perth, is a fun, knowledgeable and inspiring guy, who has impacted thousands of people across the world. He came up with the 365 days of handstand challenge on Instagram, which has opened the door to the world […]
