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.
“Learning to spot people is all part of the skill.”
“I've taught hundreds of people in handstand classes”
“There's three angles that we need to think about. It's very simple.”

Can I use these drills in my own adult classes?
You can learn the technique and teach it in your own words. The videos themselves are for your personal use.

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.
