Hi does anybody know of anywhere or any person who gives lessons in how to do a handstand?

Cheers

Have you tried practising against a wall? There seem to be some good tips here: www.beastskills.com/the-handstand/

They also mention practising the yoga crow position will help your handstand prowess: www.wikihow.com/Do-the-Crow-Pose-%28Yoga%29
