Learn the art of hand balancing or take your practise further with this beginner handstand workshop.
Join me as you learn the basic principles required to begin your hand-balancing journey. Whether you are a complete beginner or have a reasonable hold already, everyone will benefit from the drills I will share in the beautiful studio in Shoreditch.
Feel supported and safe in this educational and playful workshop. You’ll cover areas of technique, strength and skill that are necessary to practise the handstand. You'll start with the basics: conditioning wrists, shoulders and core, and learn why full body strength and flexibility is helpful for handstand.
You’ll learn alignment drills and movement patterns on the floor. There’ll be option to use the wall to kick up and for those who feel comfortable with a freestanding handstand already there’ll be option to spot each other in the middle of the room. If you’re not comfortable with that this time don’t worry, there’s plenty for everyone to do.
This workshop is for all levels because it’s a great opportunity to learn from each other. I will give everyone individual attention and particular areas to work on specific to their current level. Whether you’re beginning your handstand journey from scratch or looking to progress into more challenging positions. All exercises can be scaled to suit your needs. I’ll encourage you to go beyond your fears and find the little spark inside to be courageous!
There will be lots of moving time coupled with talking time for more education on the skill so please feel free to bring a notepad for notes.
A delicious post-workshop treat from local bakery will be available. Bring a water bottle.
