Hi! I'm Soundschi and I'm simply fascinated with the art of handbalancing. Although the journey to learning and perfecting it is a rough one with many, many struggles, I decided to do whatever it takes to stick with it, become better and learn everything I can about it. And since Ivo (my husband) and I decided to leave our homes to travel the world, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to meet as many handbalancers as I can and to share everything I learn about handbalancing during our journey with you.

Ellen Grow - Training at a Circus School in China
<p>China, like the Ukraine, is known for bringing out incredible handbalancers and circus acrobats, some of them very young.

Actually they are currently doing shows at the fringe festival! So go watch them if you have a chance!</p> <p>Also go and check out Ellen’s Instagram:</p> <p>@ellen_jayne</p> <p>Feel free to leave any comments in the section down below.

Yulya Mihailova - Life of a Handbalance & Contortion Star
<p>Guys, I’ve been dying to show you this one. I think I don’t need to explain who Yulya Mihailova is, as she is probably the most famous female handbalancer and contortionist in the circus world and the world of social media. After meeting her husband, Andrii Bondarenko, I was determined to get to meet her too and share our conversation with all of you.</p> <p>She is a shining star and has been on stage with the Cirque du Soleil show Amaluna for over 8 years. At the time we met (in June 2019) she had just left the show and was generous enough to spend some time with us and share some of her story and why she decided to leave. In this interview she tells us about how she got started in handbalance and how her mother was against her going down this kind of carreer path at first. She also tells us about her relationship with her husband Andrii, her two daughters and how difficult it is to have the family in one place, given the nature of their jobs.</p> <p>When I met her I was struck by her amazing charm and kindness. Yulya is such a sweet person, a strong woman and has so much to give. She has so many interesting stories to tell, she could easily write a book about her life as a performer, coach, mother and wife. I hope she finds the time someday to execute on that!</p> <p>I was lucky, because I got to meet with her during an interesting time for her, where she was at the beginning of a new stage in her life, moving on to new projects. She and Andrii are not only stars on the stage, but are starting to teach more and more across the globe (#couplegoals).</p> <p>I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!</p> <p>I’m sure you already follow Yulya on Instagram, but if you don’t, go do it right now!</p> <p>IG: @djilieta</p> <p><br></p> <p>P.S.: Consider <a href="https://anchor.fm/handstand-diary/support">supporting</a> us so we can keep producing content!</p> <p><br></p> <p>It's never too late to do what you love,<br> Soundschi</p>

Alexander Hart - The Beauty and Strength of a Handbalancer
<p>In this interview Alexander Hart shares his path to becoming a high-level handbalancer with us and insights he had along the way. After our interview Alex shared a quote with me that I think describes his motives in a perfect way:</p> <p>“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable” – Socrates</p> <p>Unfortunately we were very limited in time – Alex is a busy man. So we had to keep the interview short. Nevertheless I really hope you enjoy watching it and it inspires you to work towards your own full potential! Let your handstand practice be fueled by him, just like he was fueled by others he saw youtube videos of.</p> <p>If you want to see more of Alex, go and follow him on Instagram: @alexanderxart</p> <p><br></p> <p>P.S.: Consider <a href="https://anchor.fm/handstand-diary/support">supporting</a> us so we can keep producing content!</p> <p><br></p> <p>It's never too late to do what you love,<br> Soundschi</p>
