At the Handstand Movement we are all about helping everyone to learn how to do as handstand which is why along side our adults workshops we have decided to start teaching kids.

In this workshop, your child will learn all the fundamentals they need to know to get upside down. They will learn the importance of protecting and strengthening their wrists, how to use their fingers to assist balance, shoulder positioning, the correct alignment, how to kick up and most importantly, how to fall. All exercises can be progressed or regressed accordingly. This workshop is for kids ages 9 – 16 years old.

After purchase, we will be sending out a form for you to fill in to give some more information about your child please look out for this in your inbox.
