Circus Arts Byron Bay
Promoting fun and fitness through flying trapeze and circus classes since 1999.
Adult Handstands & Acrobatics
Our Handstands & Acrobatics classes are designed for adults of all levels who want to build strength, confidence, and body awareness in a fun and supportive environment.
Each session follows a well-rounded structure, including warm-up, flexibility, strength and conditioning, handstand training, and tumbling skills. Whether you’re learning to balance on your hands for the first time or returning to acrobatics after years, you’ll develop solid technique through guided drills and progressions — working towards controlled handstands and dynamic tumbling skills on both the floor and trampoline, with a strong focus on clean, gymnastics-style technique.
Classes run twice a week and share the same goals and training approach, allowing you to build skills consistently over time.
