"Working with Pepo has brought an indescribable value to my training. He showed me very important corrections and provided me with numerous tips and tricks that made me understand the mechanics of the Handstand in the much deeper and profound way than I ever could have imagined.

His friendly approach to teaching helps the practitioner to understand the feeling of the exercise, while being possible to executed in the most productive way . I noticed throughout the training with Pepo a huge improvement in my alignment and strength while following his program. The exercises and explanations helped me unlock positions that I before never could understand. Furthermore Pepo uses very detailed queueing and has easy understandable way to describe the exercises.

With great I recommend to all handstand enthusiasts the experience of a training session with Pepo.”

“I started working with Pepo a year and a half ago and he is the best handstand teacher I have ever had, by far. He is able to detect the slightest mistake, to make you understand it and being able to correct it by yourself.

He doesn't just send you a routine and that's it, he gets involved in your progress, he is 100% attentive to the classes and adapts each routine based on your level and the goal you have set for yourself."

“With Pepo I learned how to focus my training. I was stuck and didn't know how to move forward, he knew how to guide me in training and in all handstand development. He knew how to make me understand where I was and the steps to move forward.

I have not found anyone who knows how to guide the process so well”.

“When I met Pepo I just wanted to do handstand walks and be able to stay for a few seconds. Pepo changed my mental structure of my body position, he gave me tips to be stronger, more stable... But above all he gave me the love for this sport. I went from wanting to stand in basic handstand to want to go from there to many other shapes. Things that at almost 50 years old I never thought I would do. You start training and time passes without realizing it. Every day you improve little more, you stabilize a little more, you hold for little longer. Pepo makes everything a little easier every day and you become a lot stronger. When they ask me, I say that I don't know where I'm going to end up, but I train daily following that goal that I hope never ends. Because as Pepo says "Giving up is not an option"".

“I have done 3 months of training with Pepo and he has been a great help to me. I have learned many technical details of the handstand, as well as how to organize my training routine. The classes are very well structured and I have been able to get the most out of each of them. I will surely repeat, thank you very much Pepo!!”

“You can see the experience he has gained by surrounding himself with many of the best handbalancers and coaches from different countries. He has made me see many very important details of the technique that when training on my own went unnoticed. Likewise, I have been able to correct errors in the methodology and structure of my training.

To improve as much as possible, I think it is necessary to look for someone who can guide you so as not to waste time and, above all, to be clear that each correction or exercise has a reason. By understanding what you do, everything makes sense and the path to achieving a high level in handbalance becomes more visible.”

Pepo's methodical approach to training yields consistent results. He updates your training program based on your progress, which keeps it both stimulating and challenging. He's also very good at pinpointing the causes of mistakes and providing precise instructions to correct them.

“Your classes have been before and after in my handstand training. I had been with several coaches before but none of them really fit me in terms of methodology.

However, in your case I think that both your calisthenic and physiotherapy background made the combination that, at least with me, has fit perfectly. This, added to the knowledge that you have been gathering around the world, has made me feel very comfortable with your training methodology and has allowed me to advance by leaps and bounds. In a few months I have made more progress than in the last few years of training, especially at the level of understanding, giving me the foundation to be able to begin to dedicate myself to my passion for the circus, something for which I am eternally grateful.

In short, you have found and perfectly adapted the way of training to my personality and you have created an environment where it is easy to work, so congratulations and I am looking forward to seeing each other in the next classes"

Workshops/Intensives

“I want to share my experience both as a student and as a workshop organizer working with Pepo. The first word that comes to mind is INSPIRATION: his dedication to the discipline, his incredible background story, his contagious propositive mindset and his enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge and art make him an ideal teacher and work partner.”

“The workshop with Pepo is amazing, not only do you learn about handstands, polish technique and push your body to the limit. You get to do quality training, and the routine he customizes for you at the end is the best. I have improved my handstand a lot thanks to Pepo’s teachings”

“Pepo has a great approach and teaching style. Not only will he give you precise technical cues on how to improve your handstands. You will also get a deep dive into some anatomical aspects of handstands. His genuine teaching style will push you to give the best out of you.

I left the two days intensive with a lot of input, motivation, and energy. My progress sky rocketed in the next weeks, and I am more than happy about my time there.”

As an organizer of the workshop i can give the following feedback: We were in constant communication about the amount of participants and all important details which were to be discussed. From my view the whole planing, the workshop itself and the time after was a really good experience and i would love to invite Pepo for doing this again.

As Pepo has already a lot of experience with students in this field, i can highly recommend working together with him. In front of the students i saw Pepo as sensitive, happy, calm, nice. He gave every participant a good feeling, me included. I was joining the workshop aswell and i felt really good while Pepo was teaching and explaining.

I have to say that this experience was an absolute gain in many things like: gaining on my handstand skills, learning how to approach new techniques and a lot more.

I am very happy with organizing together with Pepo and i am looking forward for more workshops with him”

“I met Pepo in Italy during a 2 days beginner handstand intensive.

The workshop was so interesting that I felt in love with Handbalancing and started dreaming that maybe one day I could handbalance like him!

I was training on my own with passion, but unfortunately after 4 months my wrist was injured because of overtraining.

I luckily was still in touch with Pepo. He listened to my problem and helped me with a specific rehab program for my injured wrist.

I am now happily back on hands and more motivated than before!

Thank you Pepo for helping me being able to handstand again and practice my passion!”
