Perfect for those new to handstands or anyone who has never tried one before. This session will build a strong foundation for your handstand journey.

To kick off the workshop, Helen Downey will lead a gentle yoga warm-up session that sets the perfect tone for the practice ahead. With her expertise and guidance, you’ll flow through a carefully crafted sequence of asanas (poses) and fluid movements designed to:

• Awaken your body.
• Release tension.
• Enhance blood circulation.

Helen’s warm-up will focus on opening your shoulders, loosening your legs and wrists, and 

engaging your core—key areas crucial for building a strong handstand foundation.

After the warm-up, we’ll transition into specific handstand drills and exercises. Guided by our expert instructors, you’ll:

• Learn handstand alignment to understand the mechanics of a stable handstand.
• Practice the chest-to-wall position to build strength and confidence.
• Master safe falling techniques to exit a handstand gracefully.
• Work on kicking up to the wall, with step-by-step guidance tailored to your level.

This collaborative workshop ensures a supportive and dynamic learning environment, whether you’re just starting or seeking to refine your skills.

What You’ll Receive

Each participant will receive a complimentary goody bag containing:

• Snacks to keep you fueled.
• A trigger point ball to support your practice.
