Flora Pearson 

Great class in a beautiful space with a friendly atmosphere

Angelo Appa

I’ve attended a few handstand classes around London, and I can confidently say this was the best one yet. Manu was professional, confident, and calm, with a keen eye for detail—exactly what I needed to push myself further. Truly inspiring! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this class.

Lydia Trickey

I’ve been taking classes and doing workshops with Sainaa, Manu and Judit consistently for about 18 months and I’ve gone from not being able to kick up at all, to holding a straight, straddle and tuck freestanding handstand for more than 30 seconds. The classes and workshops are super fun and challenging, they’re really well structured and designed to help you progress. The teaching is exceptional, absolutely world class. I highly recommend London School of Handbalance, these coaches are the best at what they do.

Nathia Pais

Amazing enviroment to improve your handstand technique, work in your flexibility and know people with the same passion.

I really loved the handstand class! The teacher was very clear with his instructions and the drills were so helpful with my handstand training. I can’t wait to come again 

Lianne Auguste

Extremely enjoyed it excellent teacher would recommend a  keep going back

Enrico Turu-Leslie

Incredible session. Changed my perspective on handstands and gave me much more confidence I’ll be able to achieve my goals. This is coming from someone that has previously seeked help with handstands at gymnastic classes and didn’t find much help there. Would reccomend to anyone with the slightest I cling to try it. Don’t think just go.

Belinda Lester

Really enjoyed the class and Manu was a great teacher.  Was hard work but fun!  The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is due my own personal preference for much smaller group classes - this is just a personal preference.  Manu gave lots of personal attention despite the size of the class.

I had a very fun time learning hand balance here!

Ella Fahie 

Training with Sainaa during the intensive was so  much fun. A good mix of wall/spotted/free drills and alignment exercises and a beautiful venue!

Valerie Berchel

I have never done so many freestanding handstands (with a spotter of course!) as opposed to other classes.  Practising this way builds confidence and each time I felt closer to my goal; I understood so much more about mine v the correct posture. Recommended!

Guzel Garifullina

I love these classes, it's one of the best. It's focused on the correct technique and makes sure everybody is injury free

Paul Loiz

One session, huge impact! Sainaa is truly a master, focusing on getting the foundation strong and technique precise. Gives me so much confidence I can hit my goals or 30m walk with turn and hold in 6 months!!

The workshop will be lead by coach Judit

This engaging workshop is designed for those new to handstands, whether you are looking to build strength, improve balance, or simply add a fun skill to your repertoire

In this workshop focus is going to be on the basics on handstand technique. Straight handstand alignment, conditioning and kick-up technique.

Specific attention to learning how to fall safely from a handstand.

Would be suitable for complete beginners or for anyone else who wants to better their understanding of handstand technique.

Beginner Handstand Workshop

Mahsa Dilmaghani

I recently took a hand balance class with Judit, which was a fantastic experience. Judit is highly knowledgeable, professional, and patient, offering clear guidance and personalized feedback to suit all skill levels. Her encouraging and supportive teaching style made the class both enjoyable and motivating. I walked away feeling more confident and excited to continue practicing. I highly recommend her class!

Beverley Lawrence

Judit made a tough programme really good fun, she was super supportive and I wholly recommend anyone of any age ( I am retired) to give this workshop a go. I loved it so much, I have signed up for the 6 week course. I am so excited!

Tracey Cunningham 

I had a fantastic time at the 3 hour beginner handstand workshop.  We had a mix of abilities and everyone was catered for.  I've learnt a lot about my technique and have some good drills to practice at home. 

This 2 hour Flexibility Workshop is going to be working towards splits and backbends. 
The first hour is going to start with a warm up, focusing on hip flexors and hamstrings. Next, specific drills for strong and safe splits, as well as covering the technique for splits. In the second half of the workshop the focus will be on shoulders and backbends. We will work with both passive and active exercises, as it’s very important to learn which muscles need to be engaged in the different positions for most efficient and safe flexibility training. 

No prior experience is required for this workshop as different progressions will be provided based on everyone’s individual needs.

Excellent training space, excellent teachers with great experience, knowledge and teaching methods, and excellent community.
Couldn't recommend more to join these classes, either as a one time thing while passing by London, or as a regular thing!

Can't wait for my next time visiting London and join the classes!

Susan Burgess

Intermediate handstand workshop 

Bail out of handstand 

I attended the Baill out of a Handstand workshop on Sunday. I loved every minute of it. The drills were really tough but Judit was brilliant, she guided each of us who attended as we were all at varying levels.  I felt really encouraged and supported by Judit and even felt comfortable enough to start bailing out of a Handstand on my own.  I would encourage anyone who has ever had an interest in learning to do handstands to contact this school. The beginners sessions are excellent as a starting point😁

Intermediate and advanced training 

Leon Deriglazov

Sainaa’s unmatched expertise and sensitive coaching helped me develop a strong casual  practice over the years. These workshops give lots of tools to maintain and develop own practice. I’d highly  recommend these as practice boosters. It’s a great addition to regular classes with LHSB.

Abel Csekes
