The latest in our Learn A New Skill series is definitely the most physically challenging yet - but if you've ever wanted to try and handstand, the coaches at The Movement Loft are here to show you how it's done.
As part of our #InThisTogether campaign, we're highlighting the businesses and creatives who are reaching out to the community and adapting their model even as Coronavirus restrictions remain in place.
The Movement Loft is Belfast's very own facility specialising in the artform of movement. Located on the city's Ravenhill Road, the unique space has been created by founders and coaches David Orchin and Nick Simpson.
Nick is Belfast's leading coach in hand balancing and handstands.
"Handstands are so much more than just balancing on your hands," Nick said.
"They require good mobility, strength, body awareness and most of all - patience.
"Learning to handstand is very much a journey but hopefully with this step-by-step guide we recorded, it will give you the confidence that achieving a good handstand is way less daunting than it seems.
"Just follow the few simple tips in this video and you'll master the basics really quickly."
