ABOUT THE HANDSTAND MOVEMENT

Welcome to the Handstand Movement! THM was initially created as an incentivised challenge to help others gain a new skill during Covid-19 lockdown, The Handstand Movement is quickly becoming the go to program for beginners’ or anyone wanting to learn how to handstand. As well as being a place to learn a new skill, we are also creating a handstand community who can help motivate and inspire everyone on their own journey.

The Handstand Movement Beginners Program and Workshops have been developed by Natalie who learnt to handstand as an adult. She has spent a number of years learning how to master the handstand. During this time, Natalie has learnt from a variety of athletes within varied disciplines such as gymnastics, hand balancing and calisthenics. Natalie has combined all the knowledge she has learnt so far and put it together to create a programs and workshops to help others create the same passion for the skill she found herself. They both have everything Natalie found beneficial to her handstand development so you can learn everything you need to know.

FOUNDER OF THE HANDSTAND MOVEMENT

Natalie Fisher who, by trade is a graphic designer has spent the last few years falling in love with and learning the art of handstands. As it is something that she is passionate about, since Covid-19 lockdown she turned her understanding and love to teaching and created The Handstand Movement to simplify the learning of handstands, helping beginners understand what they need to be able to stand on their hands.

Natalie started to learn handstands as adult and had no prior experience as a child, this means she fully understands the frustrations of being a complete beginner. Naturally her focus is to help keep you motivated and encourage you not to give up because, even though you can learn a lot in 30 days, the process of learning a handstand can take a lot longer.

Even though Natalie has learnt a lot and created the program, she is constantly working on progressing her skills and knowledge by participating in a variety of courses. This ongoing development will allow the Handstand Movement to keep going from strength to strength.

TESTIMONIALS

I just wanted to say I am so happy that I joined the challenge! I really have loved it! Cant believe how much better I feel upside down in just 30 days! My handstands are so much stronger, my alignment is better and my overall understanding of handstands has increased massively! The workouts are awesome and your guidance, tips and cues are just brilliant. I feel so much more confident in what I need to do to keep progressing! You are amazing! Thank you so much! Will massively recommend it to anyone starting or on their handstand journey!

Best investment Loving the workouts and drills . Working from the basics has helped me understand the foundation skills needed to feel confident getting upside down. Having the help and guidance with the program has given me a clear direction with my training and I can’t wait to keep going and keep progressing.

Thank you so much for your program and your individual advices for my handstand training! It helped me a lot to understand the whole movement better and I'm really motivated now to keep practicing!

Simone Mairing - @moni_dreameroni

I highly recommend this programme!! I just completed my first 30 days and absolutely loved it! In just 30 days I can do a decent handstand and I had no previous experience or any gymnastics background. I just followed all the drills in the programme and all Natalie’s advices. So if you’re interested in learning how to handstand, you should definitely sign up to this programme!

Fun learning new skills and development Amazing! Is the word I would use. Handstands are something I LOVE and Natalie has a great way of teaching but also making you feel super comfortable. I traveled from Surrey to Manchester to come to this workshop. The workshop was packed with SO much info but also in a way that you wouldn't forget -because of the fun drills and explanation along the way. If you're looking for a beginner or improver handstand workshop, this will suit both and you will be tired but in a good way by the end. Such great touches with goodie-bags and personalised feedback. Most in depth handstand workshop I've been to so far. Couldn't recommend enough!

I’ve always avoided handstands because I was so scared of being upside down, or not trusting that I’d be able to hold my weight through my hands . I thought it was time for me to focus on my fear during lockdown when I seen someone else go from barely kicking, to kicking into a free standing handstand after doing the Handstand Movement 30 programme There were times when I wanted to give up and skip through exercises, I felt so far from being able to even kick up against a wall. But when I realised just how much everything in Natalie’s program is geared towards gaining that strength and confidence in the handstand, the results followed quickly. My dread of handstands has now turned into an excited addiction.

I will be 45 years old in August and never thought I would enjoy being upside down so much and be making such massive progress. The most impressive thing about the programme are the videos that are so easy to follow. The mixture of strength, mobility and stretching exercises are so good. I’ve seen a massive improvement in shoulder strength and flexibility. Your encouragement and support has been key in me achieving my first handstand hold away from the wall this week! Handstands are are so addictive! I will be continuing with the programme as I really want to keep progressing. Thanks for everything.

Amazing Products I purchased the handstand board and blocks after a bit of online research. I had doubts about the board size, I got a small one and feared it might be too small. Well, both the handstand blocks and board exceeded my expectations. I love everything about them: the size, the anti-slip surface, the design (they look so cool in wood with the black paint), the packaging they were wrapped in. By the way, the t-shirt is so cool, too. Thank you very much.

Blocks & Board Board is helpful in providing a flat surface. The blocks ease the pressure off the wrists and good for shoulder engagement. Great quality and service 🙂
