This standalone copy of the Handstand Press Magazine Issue 09, Still Standing, we look at handbalance through a different lens – that is, through lenses of all kinds! We believe that capturing handbalance through media is a core requirement for its promotion, dissemination, and advancement as an art form. -
This standalone copy of the Handstand Press Magazine Issue 07, Felt Physicality, shares impressions of inhabiting, using, experiencing and negotiating living inside and with our bodies. For this issue, the first one that comes within our new format, we show some perspectives on the body as our homes. Felt Physicality explores some facets of the internal experience of, and intellectual reaction to, being in a body, and how that relates to the art & practice of hand balance. -
We are proud to be an official stockist of the Handstand Press Magazine. This standalone copy of the Handstand Press Magazine Issue 05, entitled Caring Hands, we ask: what else do our hands do? For many, a great deal of time is spent caring for others. In this issue we give space to some of these stories, and learn how caring for those close to one can affect one’s handbalance practice and profession. As you will see, the following pages are extraordinarily intimate and personal, so much so that we want to say a special thank you to the authors who have shared their experiences on the topic of their Caring Hands throughout this issue's 116 pages. -
This standalone copy of the Handstand Press Magazine Issue 08, Staging Creation, picks up the notion of the stage, after we’ve come to realise that a stage can take many forms. The ways in which we get ready for stages, how we relate to our own creation and our public, and how we set up stages through tools like social media are various. Staging Creation presents facets of something that we have in common, no matter if we are professional handbalancers or not: a voluntary representation of the self towards the outer world. -
We are so excited to offer the Bend manual as a printed book. And while this manual is available to you as a complementary PDF download in your Bend program navigation, having it as a book on the shelf really adds to the experience.

It contains everything you need to know about training the Mexican handstand, covering the theory behind the training, an outline of the structure and Mikael and Emmets reasoning behind teaching the way they do. It also contains a full summary of each exercise found in the video library, as well as a comprehensive guide on how to choose a training program suitable to your interests. Lastly, all the training templates can be found in the appendix of the manual. With 60 pages full of handstand knowledge written by Emmet Louis and Mikael Kristiansen, this manual can keep you busy (and entertained) throughout your handbalance training.- 60 Pages in A4

We are proud to be an official stockist of the Handstand Press Magazine. This standalone copy of the Handstand Press Magazine Issue 04, entitled Prop Stories, we explore the intersection between handbalance and objects. The theme “apparatus” returned us to a sense of playfulness. We see playfulness not only in how the handbalancer moves with their tools, but also, more often than not, in the creation of the apparatus itself throughout this issue’s 116 pages. -
We are proud to be an official stockist of the Handstand Press Magazine. This standalone copy of the Handstand Press Magazine Issue 06, entitled Growing Pains, we envisioned a collection of stories, lessons, and methods coming from practitioners, coaches, and professionals in relation to the frictions, challenges, and pains that emerge through the practice of handstands. As we advanced through the creation process of the issue, a pivotal challenge was presented to us at the Handstand Press Magazine. A challenge that risked the future of the magazine. A challenge that is forcing us to evolve and adapt. This internal process has merged with the core of the new issue, adding an extra dimension to the name throughout this issue's 116 pages. -

We are proud to be an official stockist of the Handstand Press Magazine. This standalone copy of the Handstand Press Magazine Issue 03, entitled Inside Balance, revolves around the mindset and the inner worlds surrounding the handbalance practice. While the body may be bound to the rules of physics, the mind can go anywhere. And so it often becomes a game of internal growth and expansion, of navigating between our habitual ways of thinking and our efforts to maintain a bird’s-eye-view. The creation process of Issue 03 has been particularly special, as they got to touch base with many people in the handbalance world on a deeper level. Prepare to uncover what is under the surface of a seemingly effortless, calm, and steady handstand throughout this issue’s 116 pages.
