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. 

Harinder  Birring 

Excellent beginner workshop. Judit is very knowledgeable, supportive and challenging at the same time. Took away plenty of drills. Ready to fall out of handstands! 🙂

Handstand Class- Open Level

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.

First class coaching in a beautiful venue 

Rachael Millington-Hotze

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.

Stella Gounari

Gillian Brady

Manu was fantastic! Really dynamic, fun class with great instructions on how to get stronger. 

Jules Fox

I recently attended the Open for All levels handstand workshop as a complete beginner, and I have to admit, I might have been a bit ambitious in choosing this class. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the extra challenge and felt inspired by the others around me who seemed to float into their handstands with ease and grace! The facilitator was incredibly supportive, offering personal attention and guidance that helped me make real progress. While I realised that learning to kick my legs up might be more suited to a beginner’s class (which I plan on attending next), I still left feeling motivated and excited to keep practicing. The venue was fantastic, and the group was amazing—so much positive energy all around. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a challenge and great community vibes <3
