About the event
Join handstand and flexibility coach Elise Ingenito, owner of Balance Fitness + Flexibility, for a
2-hour beginner workshop that focuses on the fundamentals of hand balance with an emphasis
on flexibility and end range strength.
This beginner workshop will cover all the setup necessary for a safe hand balance practice -
from wrist preparation and proper body alignment, to strengthening and stretching drills. We’ll
go over the basic scissor entry, how to bail out or “fall” safely and how to spot your partner.
You’ll learn strengthening and balancing drills that will allow you to work towards a freestanding
handstand.
Flexibility plays a crucial role in hand balance. During this workshop, we will assess your
current range of motion to determine whether we need to increase your range of motion or
maybe just learn to control the range you already have. Either way, increasing your active
range of motion is the key to advancing your hand balance practice.
A solid hand balance practice requires dedication and effort, as well as time and patience. The
goal of this workshop is to leave you with the tools needed to continue to develop balance,
strength and flexibility for your hand balance journey. Let’s get upside down!
As a wife, mother of three active kids and four rescue pups, Elise knows all about juggling life to
squeeze in some “me time”. Balance has always been key in her life, which is why after 14
years as a computer programmer, she began the journey of turning her lifelong passion for
fitness -- and pursuit of balance -- into a full-time career.
Elise is a certified AAPTE Personal Trainer, and has practiced, taught, and became certified in
multiple disciplines, including yoga, hand balancing, gymnastic strength training, stretch
therapy, FRC, Kinstretch, Kickboxing, Animal Flow, and more. And she’s still learning!
Elise began hand balancing at age 36 and is living proof that it’s never too late to follow your
dreams and create the best version of yourself. For Elise, fitness is a lifestyle and training for
longevity is the basis of her practice.
Elise has traveled the world to learn from some of the best hand balancers and continues to
seek out world-class training opportunities. Her practice is a culmination of hard work,
determination, and the personable and light-hearted qualities of her character. Elise values the
freedom of movement that developing strength and flexibility allows and encourages both hard
work and fun in her classes.
When she’s not running her business, teaching others, learning something new, or spending
time with her family, you can find Elise upside-down!
As a coach, I'm passionate about helping people meet and exceed their goals... and celebrate
with them when they do! – Elise :)
