Location: Jump Studios Bristol, 5, Neptune Court, Barton Manor, Bristol BS2 0RL
The Handstand Movement is excited to be coming to Bristol to help you on your handstand journey, learning how to do a handstand regardless of your skill level and ability. I’m delighted to be co-teaching with Natalie, we met last year and trained together at an intensive handstand week with Jonathon Last.
In this workshop, you will learn the fundamental knowledge you need to know about how to get upside down. Learn the importance of protecting and strengthening your wrists, how to use your fingers to assist balance, shoulder positioning, the correct alignment, how to kick up and most importantly, how to fall.
Upon purchase, we would love you to give us an understanding of your current handstand level – the easiest way for us to gauge this is for you to provide your Instagram tag. This enables us tailor the workshop appropriately and provide you with the best possible workshop experience! All exercises can be progressed or regressed accordingly.
Please note this is an adults workshops so only over 18s can attend.

For this workshop there will be 2 coaches on hand to help everyone who attends and spaces are limited to ensure everyone benefits from attending.

I’ve been handstanding for a few years now, a fun hobby that’s woven it’s way into my classes and teaching. Whether it’s on my hands or in acrobatics, I love handstands. It’s empowering, fun, creative and there’s endless progression, refinements and places you can take it. For a while I was better at balancing on another pair of hands! Then over time, I learned to create balance on the floor, and now enjoy creative shapes and transitions. I love teaching handstands, helping beginners, and finding the thing that will help you most to get to the next step in your journey!
