BRENDAN JAYO | Learning How To Handstand & Meme Recommendations
About this episode
Brendan Jayo is the handstand man! In Conversation #47 we discuss all things handstands including: the reason people balance on their hands, common injuries that occur from this exercise, what it is like to teach other people in a group setting, personal inspirations and the best handbalancers at the moment, how long it takes to learn a 60s handstand, where Brendan gets his memes and whether we are hopeful about the future.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
