About the event
We're thrilled to play host to this incredible teacher and guide in a handstand workshop for a good cause.
✨ About the Workshop:
We’ll begin with a warm-up for the wrists, forearms, and shoulders to ensure we can go upside down safely. From there, we’ll dive into a series of exercises and drills focusing on basic handstand entries, holds, and safe exits. Whether you're new to handstands or already comfortable kicking up against the wall, this workshop is designed to help you level up and embrace the journey—no matter where you are in it.
Remember, handstands are FUN, and we should always be open to new challenges, even when they seem impossible at first!
✨ Meet Your Facilitator:
Mara Be (@marabeyoga) has a lifelong passion for movement, with a background in gymnastics, ballet, and modern dance. She’s been practicing yoga since 2017 and has trained with internationally renowned handstand teachers like @Yuval_on_hands. Mara loves being upside down and finds immense joy in helping her students achieve their first free-standing handstand.
🌍 Giving Back:
The majority of the proceeds from this workshop will be donated to Sihlalo, an incredible organization sponsoring a children's African music program and offering a woodwork training initiative for young women from challenging backgrounds, giving them career development opportunities.
🙏 A huge thank you to @light_house_holistic for collaborating on this project and supporting such a meaningful cause!
