Handstand From A-Z || Book About Handstand & Bodyweight Strength by Sondre Berg

Have you ever dreamed of mastering the handstand—or just learning it—but never quite knew where to start or how to move forward?

This book is for you.

It’s for you, whether you’re taking your first steps into handbalancing or already holding a handstand but want to refine your technique, unlock new skills, and get a fresh perspective on training. More than just a guide to balancing upside down, this book is an invitation to challenge yourself and redefine what you think you’re capable of.

Because handstands aren’t just for the naturally gifted, the hyper-flexible, or the super strong. Anyone can learn—and master—the handstand. And in the process, you’ll discover new ways to move, train, and push past your own limits.

I’ve spent over a decade immersed in handstands, calisthenics, and bodyweight strength. What started as an obsession with a single movement turned into a lifelong passion—one that’s taken me across the world, connected me with incredible people, and taught me more about patience, resilience, and progress than I ever could have imagined. Along my journey of training and coaching, I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and how to make progress as efficiently as possible. And in this book, I’m sharing all of it.

Inside, you’ll find over 500 carefully structured exercises designed to help you build balance, strength, mobility, control, and endurance—whether you’re working toward your first handstand or pushing your practice to the next level. This book is designed to optimize progression and tailor your practice, with clear levels that let you start exactly where you are and move forward step by step.

As a bonus, I’ve included essential bodyweight strength exercises to help you build even more strength—anytime, anywhere.

Movement, handstands, and strength are skills—not talents. Training them is about unlocking your body’s true potential.

Let’s get started!
