The Truth Is...

Once you’re stacked, it barely takes any strength to hold yourself up

A common misconception is that the headstand requires more strength than it actually does. 

  • Strength training = struggle throughout
  • Skill training = being at ease throughout (makes you progress faster)
  • The headstand requires more skill-based training, so we throw out the "just do it" and the "no pain no gain" mentality that often causes falls and injury
  • With the safe methods of progressing, one step at a time, always relying on a safe exit and a good measure of using the wall, there's basically zero risk of hurting yourself
  • We gradually learn how to use our forearms, our shoulders, our strong parts of our bodies to carry part of the load

Hi, I'm Aaron! I've been teaching parkour and movement since 2011. I managed to become an entirely self-taught, full-time performer and model. But without any gymnastics or acrobatics background in my youth it seemed like I was missing some key pieces.

When I was 22 and already feeling back aches from poorly performed backflips for too many shows in a row, I knew I didn't just want to continue on this path until my body would give out completely.

So I decided to step full-time into teaching and learning about how adults can safely learn acrobatics. From 2017 onwards I helped run a movement studio in Hong Kong, gave workshops to professional stage performers and taught hundreds of classes to the everyday person, ranging from general strength and flexibility classes, hatha yoga, to handstand courses and somersault workshops.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with people from all walks of life (from teenagers, to busy parents with no prior movement background, to movement explorers in their 60s). I’ve realized how different body types and personalities need different approaches.

Questions? Answers.

  • When should I not practice headstands?

    1) You recently had a traumatic neck, spinal or head injury (while our way of practicing the headstand is in principle safe and easy to control, it is still a new motor skill with lots of novelties. Asking too much too soon of our body can get in the way of coming back to full health.) 2) You have high blood pressure (if your blood pressure is above the healthy norm, it is standard practice to advise against going upside down or creating tension in positions where the head is below the hips. While there may be individual differences, decreasing your blood pressure should be prioritized over practicing headstands. If in doubt, seek a second opinion by a healthcare professional.) 3) You are pregnant (while I am no expert in the field, it is safer to not take risks during pregnancy. I am also aware that there are individual differences and for some people, practicing headstands during parts of the pregnancy can be completely safe. But please do check in with your obstetrician first!) 4) You have severe osteoporosis (while some level of progressive loading might be helpful in some cases, if you have a degenerative bone disease I advise against using headstands as the first line of treatment. Listen to your body. And check in with your physician if in doubt.) 5) You have a glaucoma eye condition (the headstand could put pressure on the optic nerve, which may worsen symptoms for you. Again, please check in with your optometrist first.) Your wellbeing matters to me - and I would never want a purchase to get in the way of your enjoyment in life. That means if at any point during the course you feel like it was not a good investment, please reach out via email [email protected] or Instagram @softacroaaron to receive a full refund!
