Tired of your handstand hold time not increasing?

You train. You practice. You kick up day after day, hoping this time you’ll be able to hold your handstand for longer but… your hold time hasn’t improved in weeks, maybe months.


Sound familiar?


Here’s what’s happening - most people plateau because they’re making one (or all) of these mistakes:


l Inconsistent training: You practice when you can, but there’s no real structure. You skip some days, overdo others, and wonder why progress feels random.


l Wasting time on the wrong drills: You’re piecing together tutorials from Instagram or YouTube, but most of them are either too advanced, too basic, or just not what you need right now.


l Changing what you train all the time: You’re either jumping from program to program or trying different drills all the time, hoping that the next one will be “the one” you need. Spoiler alert: There’s no such thing.


If this resonates with you and you’re tired hovering at the same 3–5 second hold... I’d love to help!

Is Aligned the Right Fit for You?

Is Aligned the Right Fit for You?

Aligned is an intermediate-level program designed for those who already feel somewhat comfortable with wall handstands and have a consistent movement practice.

Here’s how to know if you’re a good fit:

You have some experience with handstands on the wall

You’re comfortable kicking up into a handstand

You train regularly (whether it's yoga, strength, pilates, or similar) and can handle 45–60 minute sessions a few times a week

If that sounds like you, Aligned is a perfect fit. If not, I recommend exploring The Core Play and Inversions first.

Aligned is an intermediate-level program designed for those who already feel somewhat comfortable with wall handstands and have a consistent movement practice.

A Complete, 360° Approach to Handbalancing

When I first started learning handstands, I’d spend hours piecing together random drills from YouTube, stretching before practice with no real plan, and guessing what I should be doing next. It felt like I was working hard but I wasn’t making real progress.


I created Aligned to be the exact opposite of that experience.


This program is a complete, 360-degree system that gives you everything you need in one place: targeted warm-ups, strength and mobility work, handstand technique drills and most importantly—structured programming that meets you where you’re at.


No more second-guessing your training and wondering why your hold time isn’t improving.

WHAT’S THE TIME COMMITMENT?

WHAT’S THE TIME COMMITMENT?

You’ll train 5 times per week. Each session lasts about 30–75 minutes, depending on what’s in store that day and your pace. Training 5 days a week might be quite intense so I recommend this program only to those who already have a bit of experience with handstands and some form of regular movement practice. Nevertheless, if the training schedule is too intense, it can always be scaled back. More doesn’t always mean better.

Hey, I’m Karin

Hey, I’m Karin

I’m a yoga, mobility, and handbalancing teacher with a deep love for helping people move better and feel stronger in their bodies. I didn’t grow up as a gymnast or dancer. Like many of you, I started from scratch—with lots of curiosity, confusion, and a strong desire to figure it out.


Over the years, I’ve trained in yoga, mobility, handbalancing, and other movement disciplines around the world. What I’ve learned (and now teach) is that progress doesn’t come from flashy tricks but from consistency, structure, and understanding the basics really well.


More than 250,000 people have used my programs. If you’re feeling unsure, stuck, or like you’re missing something in your practice: this might just be the missing piece.

01

Is this program suitable for complete beginners?

If you’re a complete beginner, then Aligned is probably not the best place to start. I recommend first working on your strength with The Core Play before jumping into Aligned. If you’re generally comfortable with a handstand by the wall and you want to increase your hold time, Aligned is a good step.
