The handstand exercise provides great body awareness, especially of muscles and joints. It is a physical work, but also an emotional and sensory one. In this course, divided into three sessions, circus artist Helder Vilela teaches basic techniques of handstand.

He shares warm-up routines, preparation of specific muscle groups and stretching, all for a safe practice. “Anyone, any type of body can participate. Everything is done very carefully and didactically and we will work on each person’s limit,” explains the artist.

During the classes, he does the exercises with the students, showing various scales of difficulty, from the most basic to the most complex, so that each one can find themselves at these different levels.

Helder Vilela has a degree in Physical Education and is a former student and former teacher at the National Circus School. He has performed with major circuses in Brazil, Europe and Africa and, in 2019, he joined the cast of the Cirque du Soleil’s show “Cosmos”.
