Control & Balance

Saturday May 23rd 16:15–18:15
This session is for you if:
✔ You can hold a wall handstand 20+ seconds
✔ You can kick up by yourself
✔ You’re working toward consistent free balance
We’ll refine isolation skills, weight shifting, and rebalancing techniques to increase your free handstand success rate.
Less guessing. More control.
Joining both workshops is highly recommended. Build your foundation first, then refine your balance.
From “Maybe I can’t…” to “Oh, actually, I can.” and eventually, “I feel stable.”
Let’s enjoy your upside-down journey together!

Hina Katsumi
Hi! I'm Hina. I teach handstands, yoga, strength and mobility for adults, and gymnastics for children based in Tokyo.
My handstand journey actually started when I was 11. I saw kids doing handstands on TV and thought, “That looks fun!” I started practicing wall handstands on my own after school and kept learning through online videos.
Growing up, I wasn’t naturally athletic, and I also went through a period where I stepped away from school when I was in junior high, and spent most of my time at home with very little physical activity. During that time my body became deconditioned. Over time, I became more interested in understanding how the body works and how we can rebuild strength safely.
At 20, I began studying anatomy and strength training and became a certified personal trainer (NSCA). I later completed my RYT200. My background includes bodybuilding, calisthenics, yoga asana, animal flow, and other movement practices. I enjoy blending these approaches to create sessions that build both strength and mobility while playfully exploring movement.
I focus on explaining movements clearly and breaking skills down into simple, step-by-step progressions. My goal is to help each student progress at their own pace in a supportive environment.
