Life On
My Hands

For the past 15 years I have been teaching and sharing the skills of hand balancing in live events and on social media.

My 20-year career as an international and collegiate gymnast led me to Las Vegas where I performed for 8 years as an acrobat in the spectacle Le Rêve. During this time I began to explore handstands through self-practice and with the guidance of other artists and teachers. As I developed an understanding of this art, I became more and more focused and passionate about handbalancing. After leaving the stage behind I began to share my knowledge and skills with other practitioners until hand balancing became a significant part of my life.

“I followed the teachings and was mentored by the legendary Claude Victoria. I continue to explore this incredible art form through my own practice and by sharing my knowledge and skills with others.”

Today I travel the world conducting workshops and intensives and teach at the professional circus program of Académie Fratellini in Paris.

Handstand Blocks

Handstand blocks are a useful training tool for advanced handstand practice, especially for those transitioning towards the development of a one-arm handstand. I was introduced to the training blocks in 2005 by my mentor, Claude Victoria. Since then the blocks have become an integral part of my training and development as a hand balancer.

These hollow, birch plywood blocks are manufactured according to my specifications. They come in three width sizes: 9cm, 10cm and 11cm. They function the same but vary according to hand size.

If you are interested in purchasing my blocks, please contact us at YuvalOnHands@gmail.com. Please specify the size you prefer, the quantity of pairs required and your mailing address. We will then get back to you with the costs of the blocks and shipping.
