Eileen (workshop participant)


'I joined in with a handstand workshop and loved it. In just two hours I had managed to do a handstand, which was something on my bucket list 😊. I have even been able to practice since using all the tips given. The teaching was great, well explained and Kuba is also a very lovely guy. Thank you 🙏🏻'


Sally (workshop participant)


'I have just done Kuba’s handstand workshop and I’m so glad I did. Kuba is gentle with you no matter what stage your at and I am a beginner. I learnt so much and didn’t realise all that goes into a handstand. It’s not just throwing yourself up the wall. I look forward to keep practicing and will definitely be doing another workshop, hopefully the advanced one soon. Thank you again Kuba for everything you have taught me 😊'

Frequently asked questions

Is this handstand workshop suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is - this one is specifically for beginners! If you've ever tried a headstand, crow or kicking up into a handstand against the wall - you're already ahead, but this is not a requirement! We'll start with basic alignment drills and then move on to safe bailing techniques and wall handstand.

What if I can already hold a handstand? Will I learn anything?

Yes. Some of the participants of my previous workshops come from gymnastics, pole dance or some sort of acrobatic background. This workshop is all about building a strong foundation for handstand practice regardless of the level of ability.

Can children attend your workshop?

Unfortunately, this is adults only workshop. Some teenagers with athletic/gymnastics background can be considered. This will be considered individually - please email me on kubajurszacoaching@gmail.com to discuss details.

Do you offer refunds?

Unfortunately, there will be no refunds. Booking means that you commit to attending the workshop. However, if for some reason you cannot attend, you may arrange for someone else to take your place.

Organised by

Kuba Jursza

I am a professional movement teacher and personal trainer specialising at teaching handstands, calisthenics and acrobatic movements based in Southampton, UK. My training began in 2006 when I dived into a mix of disciplines such as Parkour, Calisthenics and Acrobatics. Being self-taught and learning most of the physical skills for myself allowed me to do my own research on assessing and teaching adults complex movement skills. This helped me be able to break down advanced skills and make them accessible to more people who are interested in learning something new. As much as I preach the willingness to learn new things – I believe that quality of movement is the most important.
