The workshop is suitable for beginners who cannot yet balance. So long as you can confidently support your own body weight by doing a crow, headstand, bunny hop across the room, or handstand against a wall, you’ll be fine.

Participants will be shown how to spot each other safely, and everybody will be given exercises to challenge their ability. 

The workshop is often attended by Yoga & Fitness instructors who wish to fine tune their handstand knowledge and learn new drills which they can show their students. 

There is a strong emphasis on fun, movement, variety, and we will spend time on Yoga inversions + basic acrobatic movements such as cartwheels, walking on hands, and handstand to forward roll. 

This workshop is suitable for people who practise yoga, pole, aerial, or fitness activities regularly and who wish to dedicate an entire training session to improving their Handstand ability.

We will work on a wide range of exercises designed to progress flexibility, strength, endurance, alignment and balance. We will spend time on head-stand, elbow-stand, and crow variations, but the main focus will be handstand. 

We will work in pairs to spot each other and also against the wall to develop a confident and controlled entry into the handstand.

The class is enjoyable and interactive and there is plenty of opportunity to meet new people. Many people find the journey towards handstand very addictive.

Warmup drills will be carried out in a gymnastic or fitness style and will be less like the kind of thing you do in yoga.

Ben Lowrey personally practises handstands for 2 hours per day separately from any additional gymnastics, dance, strength & flexibility training. This workshop will give you a taste of the kind of intensity and repetition that are required to make faster progress in your Handstand. 

Fitness people will find this class useful to challenge themselves in ways which are not part of their normal weightlifting routines.

Yoga, Pole, Dance & Circus people will find this class useful to progress their stability and find ways to incorporate hand-balancing into their routines.
