About

For many yoga students and movement practitioners, handstands are something of a holy grail. As children, we hurl ourselves upside-down with joyful abandon, but for adults, learning to balance on our hands is much more challenging, both physically and psychologically. The handstand is a big, complex brain-body puzzle, and solving it can be a long and frustrating (but also very rewarding) process. This workshop will introduce the fundamental principles of the handstand and give you the physical and psychological tools to develop your own dedicated practice, whether you’re a frustrated wannabe hand-balancer or a complete beginner with inverted aspirations. Matt lives in Glasgow and teaches weekly Vinyasa & Movement classes at renowned Merchant City Yoga, where he also runs a monthly handstand club.
