Franklin Solar Navarrete

Franklin has spent over seven years exploring the art of handstands, a discipline that has become his favourite after trying many forms of circus. His background in capoeira, breakdance, and gymnastics gives him a rich, playful perspective on being upside down. Franklin loves the mindfulness of balance – where breath, focus, and body come together. In his classes, he creates an encouraging space for students of all levels to explore strength, awareness, and the joy of seeing the world from a new angle.
