I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this handstand program! This challenge provided me with very helpful tips and technique cues. It helped me find the confidence that allowed me to FINALLY move away from the wall. It pushed me to be consistent, to keep showing up for myself even when some days were harder than others. It helped me to start overcoming my fear, teaching me to trust in myself. This challenge was about more than just handstands and I’m so thankful I joined it!

This was so much more than just handstands for me. I gained confidence and control on my hands… but also learned to lean into the discomfort, give myself grace, and come back to my breath when things get hard. But I’m not done… I still have entries to conquer and hold times to lengthen… even just for one more breath.

The RUS program was excellent! Exactly what I needed. Finally I moved away from the wall, I’ve learned safe exit and now I can practise handstand in open space. I learned the alignment and now I can keep a straight hold. I used to have a problem with my hips wobling back and forth because of this impossible to keep ant holds. I am really very happy I joined this challenge! Thank you!

Love coming back to these and always feeling the burn 🔥

I absolutely loved the RUS program, especially the support from the Facebook group. Without them, I probably wouldn‘t have finished the challenge. I am a complete beginner and I did see improvements after only a few days! This blew my mind!! I‘ll definitely stick to my handstand practice and I hope to get better!

I'm so glad for having done this program! It was not only a physical work but also a mental work and growth. I think the drills we worked on where really useful and challenging. At the end of this month I feel stronger and I have so much more control than one month ago. One of the thing I loved the most is how I committed to this journey... I showed up every single day without judgement and being the most kind to myself Thank you so much Chelsea

Just what I needed! I have been in a mental fog lately and working too much. I'm excited to get back to taking time for me again and reconnecting with my body and mind. Thank you! ❤️

    About Chelsea Hofer

    Online personal trainer

    Hi guys! Im Chelsea and known as @chelseasyoga on Instagram! I’m a single mom of three kiddos and found yoga in 2014! I was never a gymnast, dancer, or competitive athlete but found myself deeply drawn to yoga after my first studio class. It created a sense of calm and quiet that my overly congested mind craved. I became certified to teach in April '15 (RYT 200) and my passion for sharing my yoga journey and teaching others took over. I later earned my RYT 500 and now teach locally in Seattle and yoga retreats around the world. My mind and body craved the time on my mat and years later it is still my favorite outlet and has moved way beyond asana (the physical practice). Yoga can be whatever you want it to be and for anyone. All it has ever asked of me is to show up and every time I do, I take what I need to grow and leave everything else on my mat.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the program designed around?
    This program is designed around completing 5 classes per week for around 25-30 minutes each day, for 4-weeks (but you can always repeat this to continue to build strength and improve your arm balances!). I started seeing big changes in my static holds after the first week and I started feeling very confident and safe getting into handstands a few weeks later.
    What are the goals of the program?
    Build strong foundation (frame of the body) - Build core strength - Improve shoulder stability and pressing action for handstands
    How to maximize the results of this program?
    - Get proper sleep (8-9 hours a night is a must and what I aim for) - Dedicated nutrition regime that consists only of wholesome natural ingredients, I try to stay away from dairy and sugar 99% of the time while eating A LOT of whole plant food - Drink the daily recommendation of water (I aim for 75 ounces) and limit alcohol consumption -Make sure to allow muscles time to recover -Drill 5+ times per week. The more consistent you are the faster your handstands will progress - At least 1 full rest day
    What do I need to participate in this program?
    - Socks and yoga blocks or books of similar size - A yoga mat
    Who are these workouts for (skill-level)?
    - The workouts are designed for all levels, as any beginner, intermediate, or advanced level yogi will benefit from this program
