Advanced Arches Program

Welcome to Advanced Arches, a program designed to teach you all that you need to know in order to transform your Cartwheel into all sorts of Arching Moves, from Forwards Cartwheels to Reversaos, Helicopteros and Gumbis. And as always, you’ll receive plenty of variations and explorations to play with the learned content!

Arching can be a tough practice at first: it requires our bodies to open up in novel ways and requires strength in odd angles. I often have beginners in my workshops or coaching who want to learn cool moves like the Helicopter Cartwheel but lack understanding of fundamental arching mechanics. So for you to progress smoothly and without huge setbacks, this program will start with a huge section on getting the basics down GOOD before continuing to fancy patterns.

You'll be first introduced to more basic patterns and ideas that already allow plenty of exploration. Later, you'll apply all that you have learned in various scenarios: from sequences to open form tasks, technical studies and more.


Of course the material is presented in high quality video breakdowns, text and illustration. The PDF that you'll receive is beautifully designed, neatly organized and intuitive to use. You'll receive practice structures and plenty of tips not only for the what (content) but also the how (learning process).

• Learn all about Arching Mechanics
• How to condition your body, especially back & shoulders

How long do I have access to the material and program?
-> You can keep the Program forever.

Are the videos downloadable?
-> All videos are uploaded as not-listed to YouTube, downloading is possible but not recommended.

What is the difference between the full programs and these smaller, specialized ones?
-> The full programs contain much more material and cover many different topics and skills - great if you wish to know it all. The smaller, specialized programs are for those who seek specific moves and concepts and want to spend less overall. NOTE: all students of the Acrobatics Lab and Atelier program won't find much new material in this program. If you still wish to purchase it, send a mail first and you'll receive a big discount.

Are these follow-along type classes?
-> No, the programs offer great and in depth breakdown videos but not in follow-along style.

What experience do I need for this program?
-> This program is great for beginners as we start from the basics and progress slowly to the full skill(s). Also intermediate and advanced students will benefit from the program as it offers plenty of variations. If you are a teacher yourself, you will LOVE it, as you can use the learning process shown in your own teachings and classes.
