Build your press handstand over the course of 12 weeks.

Welcome to my lean, mean press-making machine.

you're in the right place

It’s simple really. 

I created a program that

ACTUALLY GETS YOU TO THE PRESS HANDSTAND.

You’ll do it in a step-by-step 

(and best of all…)

PROVEN way.

If you work it, it works!

made for adults press handstand

Learning as an adult is an entirely different process than learning as, say, a young competitive gymnast.

I’ve learned over the years that rest and recovery are secret ingredients on the path to accomplishing hard things!

You might be surprised by how gentle — and yet crazy effective — my training is.

About Leigha Butler Yoga, LBY

I specialize in helping soulful women go from disconnected and depleted to strong, rooted, and radiant so that they can move through life with clarity and confidence.

I absolutely LOVE guiding people toward the greatest potential version of themselves. 

It never gets old to see students of all ages surprising themselves by just how strong they are. 

My 12-week press handstand program distills everything I’ve learned over decades into an incredibly efficient and proven way to build the press. 

The journey is just as much about honoring your vast potential as it is about executing a pinnacle pose.

testimonials

“In case you can’t tell from my incessant shares… I love your press program! Thanks for everything!!! Getting my press was one of my goals before I try to get pregnant next year… I extra love that I feel like it’s helping me prepare my body to be strong for pregnancy and labor.” -Jill 

“Wow! I got it! After 3 weeks, I can finally press with a block between my feet. I even did it the narrow way. I am amazed that at 54 strength can still grow in my body. This has been pure Grace. ” -Diane

You’ll need to devote at minimum 30 mins, 3-5 days a week. 

The skill of press handstand requires incredible determination, resourcefulness, and focus. I’d be cheating you if the price didn’t reflect the commitment it will take from you to succeed. Your full attention and effort are required!

I do offer payment plans.

I recommend following the course as it is designed (It drips week by week). It is not advised to skip ahead. Instead, build your solid foundation and the appropriate mobility. The strongest students lock in their press at around 3 weeks.

It’s organized like this: 

  • First 4 weeks focus on puppy press
  • Second 4 weeks focus on straddle press
  • Third 4 weeks focus on pike press

Of course! Many of my students are in the over-50 camp, and many have been able to achieve their press or drastically improve their handstand control. I’d love to root you on!

If you are truly ready to make your vision of doing the press handstand a reality — and you’re willing to dedicate the time and effort required — then do this as an investment in yourself. Remember: If you fall off (we all do), forgive yourself and get back to it.

“Loving the journey. It’s a game changer and never felt so strong.” -Mel

“The weekly exercises were so expertly curated to guide us toward vertical that pressing up into handstand just kind of happened. I feel like it snuck up on me because the exercises prepped us so well without me even realizing it was happening.” -Kim
