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.

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.

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.

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

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!
