In Ben’s words
Ben Lowrey started learning handstands in 2013, came to hand balancing through yoga and began teaching at the end of 2015.
“If you fall over, you're going to step one hand round and it'll just cartwheel you out.”
“Learning to spot people is all part of the skill.”
“The shoulders are going right up to the ears. You're pushing as hard as you possibly can.”

Acro yoga handstand questions
What happens after 30 November?
The founding price of £47 is for purchases made by the end of 30 November 2026, UK time. From 1 December 2026 the library costs £67. Buying at £47 gets you exactly the same access, and the same 14-day refund, as buying at £67.
Do I need a handstand to start acro yoga?
No. But many classes ask for a solid solo handstand before hand-to-hand or inverted flying, and it helps bases too.
Should bases train handstands, or just flyers?
Both. Bases push overhead with straight arms all session; the same shoulder line carries over.
What handstand do I need before hand to hand?
Ask your teacher. The library builds the solo foundation: a straight line, locked arms and a reliable way down.
How can I train without a partner?
At a wall, with toe taps, holds and a cartwheel bail. Everything in the library is solo.
Why pay £47 when there are free videos?
The tutorials and drills are free. The library adds the full courses and a 12-week order.

Who it isn’t for
- It is not a quick fix. There are no promised timelines: a handstand takes regular practice over time.
- It is not live coaching. The library is recorded teaching, so nobody watches or corrects your form.
- It is not for anyone a doctor or physiotherapist has told to avoid being upside down.
- Ben says himself that the press to handstand is not right for every body.
