But who is the workshop actually for?My workshop participants come from all different backgrounds. The beauty of handstands is how effortlessly the practice lends itself to other forms of exercise, especially:<ul><li>Yoga</li><li>Pole Dance</li><li>Gymnastics</li><li>Calisthenics</li><li>Crossfit</li><li>Climbing</li><li>Circus Arts</li><li>Acro Yoga</li></ul>Not only is it great for fitness professionals to build into their own teachings, but it can be a brilliant tool for improving your personal progress in tons of different areas.Also, for gym fanatics craving a new, fun, collaborative form of exercise, handstands are an excellent way to add another layer to your fitness regime.Because I believe fitness SHOULD be fun. Life is already serious enough… let’s inject some play into it. DISCLAIMER: I cannot accept any responsibility for major handstand obsessions forming following completion of this workshop (...and I can tell you, this WILL happen).

Any other questions?Is the handstand workshop suitable for beginners?Yes it is! If you've ever tried a headstand, crow or kicking up into a handstand against the wall, then this is right up your street. We'll start off with basic alignment drills and then move on to spotted and wall handstand. What if I can already hold a handstand? Will I learn anything?100%. Many of my past workshop participants come from gymnastics, pole dance or another form of acrobatic background (so they already have a pretty good understanding of the handstand mechanisms!). The workshops will be adapted to each person taking part so everyone can get the most of it.Can children attend your workshop?Unfortunately, this is adults only workshop. Some teenagers with athletic/gymnastics background may still be considered. This will be done on a case by case basis - please email me on kubajurszacoaching@gmail.com to discuss details.Do you offer refunds?Booking means that you commit to attend the workshop, therefore I am unable to offer refunds. However, if for some reason you cannot attend, you may arrange for someone else to take your place.***Additional InformationPlease be aware that you will be requested to sign health waiver and video/photo consent forms before attending the workshop as sometimes video recordings and photos will be taken.
