The Inversion Workshop with Maddie Booth
Have you ever wanted to be able to do a handstand? Join our handstand workshop with Maddie Booth. You might wonder why bother, but there are plenty of benefits from this deceptively simple action. Inverting the body promotes overall blood circulation to the upper body. The increased blood flow to the brain energizes and calms the mind helping you deal with stress more effectively. These are just some of the many benefits from doing a handstand, but it can be daunting to try it on your own. Maddie will teach you the incremental steps to enter and exit a handstand correctly. This is a 90-minute workshop that’ll run for four consecutive weeks starting on Sunday, 24 March at 11:30 am.
