HANDSTAND WORKSHOP
Saturday 13th April
10:00am - 12:00pm
Loup Yoga Studio with Jaqueline Turner
Would you love to learn the art of hand balancing or take your practise further? You can in this beginner and intermediate workshop with your coach Jax.
Jax will make sure you feel supported and safe whilst making the workshop informative and playful. With her guidance 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. Through alignment drills and movement patterns on the floor we’ll also uncover the mechanics of the handstand.
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. Jax 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. Jax will 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.
