Tantalised by the prospect of learning to handstand? You’re not alone!
The ability to flip yourself upside-down on your hands can seem almost magical, but there’s no sorcery involved – it’s just a skill like any other, and can be acquired with persistence, patience and practice. If you’ve no idea where to start – or if you’re a learner in need of a refresher course – this 2½-hour workshop will strip everything back to basics and offer a solid introduction to the principles of the handstand.
We’ll look at all of the aspects that come together to make a handstand – alignment, mobility, strength, balance, breath, body awareness and mindset – and start to weave them together. While we can’t promise you’ll master this skill in one workshop, you will walk away with insights, tips and drills that provide a good foundation for developing a dedicated hand-balancing practice.
Workshop Cost £30

About Matt (in his own words)
I first became entranced by yoga at a music festival in the wilds of Scotland in the mid-2010s, and I have been exploring its myriad facets ever since. My curiosity and adventures somehow led me to teacher training, and after an extremely challenging, fascinating and fulfilling year, I became a MCY 200-hour graduate in 2021.

We also offer a monthly handstand club with Matt here at MCY – a fun, informal space for regular practice with fellow wrong-way-up enthusiasts. Check the regular class schedules for details.
