handstand camp
Intensive retreat dedicated to the detailed and in-depth study of the handstand with Daryna Yahorava
November 21-28, 2025
Thailand
A week of training and education at a stunning resort on the shores of Thailand, Phuket
If you’re tired of piecing together handstand information from the internet and want not only to understand it but also start making real progress — I invite you to join my week-long "Handstand Camp"on the shores of the Indian Ocean, at the luxurious five-star wellness resort "Amatara".
At the camp, I’ll share all the knowledge and most effective techniques I’ve accumulated over years of training — methods that can guide you from complete beginner to a level nearly indistinguishable from that of a professional handbalancer.
