We are pleased and excited to host Hannaonhands workshop at our festival again this year. Whether you have have never attempted one before or been handstanding for years, Hanna will guide you and give you something new to try! Hanna, fell in love with handstands back in 2017 and has trained with and continues to practice with some world-renowned handstand teachers, and feels very honoured to be a regular student of Sainaa (London School of Hand- Balance), Miguel Sant’ana and Yuval Ayalon. This workshop is aimed at beginners and intermediates to give them a taste of the upside-down world of handstands. As there will be no wall space, the workshop will be limited to floor work and kick-ups, with partners supporting for safety. She will go through some flexibility and mobility exercises, dynamic warm-up exercises, useful drills, techniques and explain the importance of these in relation to being able to get into, hold, and one day be in a beautiful straight handstand. Most importantly, have some fun and give it ago; you never know, you may also catch the bug. “I am very excited to share my passion and knowledge with my students and let them discover the amazing upside-down world."
