Program Details
Between your lecture material, beginner drill teaching demo’s, live Zoom calls on the weekends, mid-week homework assignments, and graduation weekend, you’re going to learn everything you need to know to be a strong and confident Handstand Coach!
Pre-Recorded Lectures
Your lecture topics will cover the anatomical foundations for handstand, training and coaching philosophy, and how to grow your Coaching business starting from the ground up…no pun intended 🙂

Teaching Demo’s
Your video training library also includes a collection of valuable demo videos for teaching proper alignment and safety. You’ll also learn the most effective way to spot your students to empower them towards handstand progress!

Weekend Zoom Calls
Your live Zoom trainings will make up a good portion of your 50 total hours. Each call will open with a 60-minute themed training session, focusing on the teaching criteria for that week. Every Zoom call will be recorded and uploaded to the student portal shortly after class concludes.

Drill Library
Along with the Teaching Demo’s, you’ll also have access to the Drill Library which includes the best fundamental drills you can give to your students to help them achieve their desired shape and balance. 

Homework Assignments & Practice
Outside of the pre-recorded lectures and live Zoom calls, you’ll have weekly homework for personal exploratory practice as well as practice teaching hours. We will review these on our weekend Zoom calls with tips and advice from the Leadership Team.

Panel Discussions
Your program includes a series of “fireside chats” with your expert Coaches, covering a range of topics. These open forum discussion will give you insight on how we think about student success, and the steps we took to get them there.

Graduation Weekend!
You will have 2 options for your graduation weekend! For those who can make it, we’ll be hosting alive graduation in Las Vegas on October 25th & 26th, along with a virtual graduation for our international students the following weekend!

Skill Pre-Requisites
Handstand is a skill-based practice, and as a certifying body, we hold our Coaches to a certain standard of performance. This program will require you to meet certain benchmarks in order to receive your certificate of graduation.

Thus, in order make sure we’re accepting students who are the right fit for our school, we require that you have the following baseline before signing up:
  • 2 years of consistent handstand training
  • 25s unassisted freestanding straight hold
  • Proficient entry into Tuck & Straddle position
  • Basic understanding of shoulder positioning
  • Formal handstand workshop or online training in the last 12 months*
*For the last one, we do require that the workshop, class, or online training have been done with a trusted Handstand Coach in the industry who would also meet our requirements.
Test Out Requirements
After completing the 50-hours of expert training, our THS Graduates are expected to submit the following homework prior to receiving your certificate of completion of Level 1:
  • 45s unassisted freestanding hold
  • Proficient command of every Level 1 drill
  • Practice Teaching video submission
  • Written outline of 90-minute Handstand Class
  • Written program for practice student
THS believes firmly in honesty, fairness, and transparency. We will be holding to our guidelines for Test Out Requirements, as a way to not only ensure the quality of our program, but to also make sure we are holding our teachers to the same standard across the board, and that there are no “free passes”.

Remember, just like you had to earn your handstand through hard work, and your students will have to earn theirs, you also earn your title as a certified Coach.
Training Calendar
Your orientation call is September 13th @ 8am PST, and will go over every detail of the program, what you can expect to learn, the pre-program homework to complete before our 1st group call on the 20th.

Now that you have an idea of the scheduled calls and graduation events, let’s take a look at the Team that will be leading your certification!
Meet The Team
Andrey Moraru
Hand Balance Performance Artist
As one of the most recognized Hand Balancers in the world for the last 15 years, Andrey brings a depth of knowledge that is in a class all its own. He is truly an elite handstand expert in every part of developing a long term handstand practice. Andrey has been performing hand balancing since age 16, and has always fostered a beginner mindset of curiosity and exploration, even after achieving starring roles with Cirque Du Soleil and Quixotic.
Dr. Robert Adams
Doctor of Physical Therapy
When it comes to handstand anatomy and physiology, Dr. Robert Adams leads our curriculum here at The Handstand School. Along with being a Handstand Coach, he’s also a licensed DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy), which gives him a unique perspective on the best ways to teach this practice to students of all skill levels.
Kyle Weiger
Social Media and Handstand Marketing Expert
If you’ve been on Instagram for more than 5 minutes, you’ve probably seen some of Kyle’s handstand marketing in action. With over 10,000+ course sales in 72 countries, Kyle has been in the handstand marketing trenches for almost a decade, scaling a coaching business from the ground up!
Your Leadership Team has a combined 45+ YEARS of handstand training experience, with the majority of those years being spent in either a Coaching or Performance capacity. If you were looking for a team of experts in their respective fields, you’re in the right place!
Your 50 Hours
These training hours are subject to slight alterations, but the bulk of this format will remain constant throughout training. If you have to miss a weekend, or need additional time to complete homework assignments, we will have every group call recorded on Zoom!
Live Graduation – Las Vegas, October 25th & 26th
For the Live Graduation weekend, plan on flying into Las Vegas on October 23rd or 24th, and being in the city all weekend. Most students will be getting AirBnB’s, but if you want to stay on the strip that will be totally up to you!

Also, once the registration period closes and the roster is full, we’ll get a group WhatsApp chat or email thread going so you can potentially find a handstand roommate for the weekend!
Your graduation class is going to be a group of friends and fellow coaches that will last a lifetime! If you can make it to the live graduation, we highly recommend it!
