RISE & BEND
Your press to handstand, your macacos and your arching acrobatic movements. Not with more force or more flexibility, but by finally understanding how your body was meant to move
Let me tell you why I created this
3:33 minutes with me, before we begin.
"I've seen the same mistakes for years..."
I've spent months building this program after watching so many of my students hit the same walls. Chasing the press with sheer force. Bending in ways that never quite felt safe. Following tutorials that skip the details that actually matter.
So here's what we'll do together: rebuild the way you press and the way you use your backbends for arch acrobatics, not with more flexibility, but with the strength, timing and awareness that make movement feel like flow instead of force.
What we will move through
Two chapters, twelve live sessions.
Chapter I, Pike & Press
The real path to the press to handstand with the pole. Strength, control and suspension.
Oct 8
The Foundations, Pike & Compression
We awaken compression strength, the deep, almost never trained connection between thigh and torso. I'll share my favourite drills, the exact ones that made my pikes feel effortless.
Oct 15
Pole Clocks, Finding Control
Clocks aren't just arm strength, they're scapular stability, and also compression and pike. Today we learn to move the shoulder blades so the shoulder becomes a base, not a weak point.
Oct 22
Inverse Pole Clocks, The Eccentric Secret
We train eccentric control, lowering slowly and with command. Learning to come down is learning to go up.
Oct 29
Building the Press, The Tilt Nobody Teaches
The press doesn't begin by arching your back, it starts with the pelvis in posterior tilt. We train the shift that separates those who get it from those who struggle for years.
Nov 5
Press to Handstand, First Attempts
Your first press to handstand with the pole as your ally. Every attempt is information, not failure.
Nov 12
Press to Handstand, Putting It Together
We close the block with suspension and control, not momentum. When you stop forcing the lift and trust the strength you've built, the press carries you.
Chapter II, Backbending Flow
Learning to move through extension with control, using the mobility you have together with momentum in your favour. It's not magic, it's physics.
Nov 19
Safe Extension, Where It Really Comes From
We explore how a full, safe extension can spread through the whole spine, giving the thoracic area the mobility it often forgets it has, so the movement feels open instead of pinched.
Nov 26
Control & The Slow Descent
We build the eccentric strength that turns a harsh fall into a soft, safe, beautiful movement.
Dec 3
Reversão, Capoeira Meets Pole
We step into the reversão, broken down phase by phase. If it's not working, it's probably not a lack of flexibility, it's a lack of core strength and the timing to move through the extension with control.
Dec 10
Macaco, Capoeira Meets Flow
We bring capoeira to the pole with the macaco. Learning to make inversions look free, not forced, with rhythm and lightness instead of tension.
Dec 17
Paloma / Front Macaco, Trusting the Fall
We take the paloma apart movement by movement, the shift of weight, the moment you let go of the floor. It isn't a leap of faith, it's controlled sequencing. Once the timing is yours, it stops feeling like falling and starts feeling like flow.
Dec 23
Integration, Closing the Flow
We close the term weaving all the extensions into small flows. After weeks of building the foundations, now we finally learn your dream movements. Flow isn't doing shapes back to back, it's letting one melt naturally into the next. See you on the flow.
