Why Us
Classes for every level. Coaches who started as adults.

Classes for Every Level

Whether you're brand new or refining advanced shapes, your session is tailored to what you can do today. Coaches all started learning as adults, so they understand exactly how it feels to begin later in life.

  • Progress at your own pace with options for every level in the same class.

Expert form coaching. Coaches bring over 15 years of combined experience and give real-time feedback so you know what to change and why it matters.

Safe practice environment. You'll learn how to fall, how to use the wall intelligently, and how to build confidence gradually without being pushed too far, too fast.

Supportive community. Train with people who understand the journey, celebrate the small wins, and genuinely want you to progress.

The teacher was approachable and considered questions before answering. The class was structured well with a comprehensive warm up, and progressively more difficult options available or the option to stick to more comfortable variations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the most common questions about our handstand classes and coaching.

I’m a complete beginner and can’t kick up yet. Is the class right for me?

Yes. The Beginner Handstand Class is designed for people who are brand new with zero previous handstand experience. If you have any concerns, you can always get in touch before booking.

What should I bring / what's the space like?

Wear comfortable training clothes you can move freely in (leggings or joggers work well) and bring water. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat, blocks or canes, but we will also have equipment available to use.

I want to learn something specific (one arm, presses, HSPU or calisthenics skills).

Some classes and workshops will cover these skills, and 1–1 coaching is available if you want a faster, more tailored route to your specific goals.

How often do the handstand classes and workshops run?

We run regular weekly classes and add pop-up workshops throughout the year. Dates, times, and booking links are always kept up to date on this page, so you can reserve a spot as soon as new sessions go live.
