Introduction to Handstands with Adell Bridges at Compound

£20.00

Handstands: not just shoulders, folks.

They’re a full-body workout, a mental game, and—honestly—an occasionally humbling obsession.

In this (fun!) 2.5-hour workshop you’ll learn the foundations to get upside down with confidence and walk away with drills to keep building those handstand muscles long after.

Who’s teaching you to flip your world?

Hi, I’m Adell. I’ve been teaching handstands globally for a decade, and I’m still a shameless addict myself. With a background in gymnastics, I teach a “cirque-style” handstand—elegant, strong, and endlessly expandable.

But it’s not just about pretty lines and party tricks; your brain and nervous system are part of the upsidedown-ness too, which is why I blend in my studies of psychology and neurology. Handstands are equal parts art, science, and play.

I run workshops, retreats, and online trainings for all levels. Whether you’re a total beginner or a handstand lifer, I’ll help you make friends with the floor… and gravity.

FAQ:

  • When and where? This will take place at the Compound, 1 Papermill Road, Cardiff, CF11 8DH from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. We will start on time and finish on time. Don’t be late! ;-)

  • Is there parking? There is free on-road parking along Papermill Road, and the gym is also situated close to bus and train routes :-)

  • Do I need to be able to handstand already to attend this? Not at all. Even if you’ve never attempted a single handstand, this is for you.

  • Will there be more? I can’t attend that day. It depends on how this one goes! But good news: I basically live at Compound, so we can for sure add more if there’s demand for more! (Read: tell your friends, let’s make it a thing!)

  • Will I hurt myself? This seems scary. You’re statistically like 77498734 more likely to get hurt on the way TO the workshop than doing handstands (not a scientific stat, but you get my drift.)

  • Do I need to be a member of the Compound to join? Nope. All are welcome!
