HANDSTAND MOVEMENT WORKSHOPS

I’m so excited to be hosting two special handstand workshops here in Liverpool on Saturday, 28th June 2025, in collaboration with the incredible Natalie from The Handstand Movement.

Whether you’re just getting comfortable with balance at the wall or ready to refine your freestanding skills, these adult-only (18+) workshops are designed to support and challenge you in a fun, encouraging environment.

📍 Venue

Rise Yoga Studios

Gladstone House, 2 Church Road, Wavertree, Liverpool, L15 9EG

Workshop Options

🧘‍♀️ Begintermediate Workshop

12:00 PM – 3:00 PM

This session is perfect if you can already kick up and are working on improving your hold time and balance. You’ll feel right at home if you're confident in a chest-to-wall position but not quite holding a freestanding handstand yet.

Natalie will guide you through:

• Strengthening and refining your chest-to-wall handstand

• Techniques to find balance with and without the wall

• Safe ways to fall (like cartwheeling out) so fear doesn’t hold you back

• Progressing toward kicking up and holding away from the wall

🤸‍♀️ Intermediate Workshop

3:45 PM – 6:45 PM

This workshop is for those who can already kick up and hold a solid handstand against the wall—and want to take things to the next level.

You’ll explore:

• Perfecting your alignment and control

• Playing with new shapes like tucks and straddles

• Practicing different ways to enter a handstand, such as tuck or straddle jumps

🎁 What’s Included

Every participant will receive a complimentary goody bag with:

• Snacks to keep your energy up

• A trigger point ball to support your ongoing practice
