Classes & coaching for complete beginners to one-arm balances: every Tuesday 6-7pm from 27th January
All sessions run in Gym Nation in London Bridge. Sessions take place in a bright, open studio with enough wall space and floor area for safe handstand practice.












Whether you've never been upside down, are stuck on the wall, working on presses, or chasing one-arm progressions—your class meets you where you are.
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.
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.
10 minutes | Warm-up – Joint prep and movement to get your body ready and your head focused.
25 minutes | Handstand Conditioning – Strength, flexibility, movement patterning or balance work, depending on the theme of the class.
20 minutes | Your Progression – The group is divided, and you get specific support from the teacher on the level and skill you are working on.
5 minutes | Cool-down & Reflection – Stretch, review what you practiced, and leave with a clear focus for your next session.

Joss started doing handstands about 3 years ago, got hooked, and has since immersed herself in handstand festivals and week-long handstand retreats, learning from world-leading teachers. Her coaching brings structure and rigour, and a playful energy so training feels supportive and explorative, not scary.

Beth has been an athlete and coach for cheerleaders and gymnasts. After a knee injury, she fell in love with handbalancing two years ago. She's also a chartered physiotherapist, so her classes merge anatomical insight with playful exploration, helping students understand what their bodies need for strong and confident inversions.
First time attending such a workshop. 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. A conversational flow between the teacher and students led to new ideas being explored and tried out. A calm and productive environment to further a handstand practice.

I am very active and energetic and, thankfully, thus far, in good health. So when Elliott began coaching me in handstands and yoga, I was surprised by the challenges I faced. The inward focus, the attention to breathing and to the body, and the often difficult (for me) poses were all new to me and out of my comfort zone. Nevertheless, by the end of my first class, I felt a new sense of balance and stability in my normally runaway mind. After several weeks of regular practice, I am pleased to confirm that I am still capable of managing new challenges. I find that when my inner and outer worlds are in sync, the intrinsic goodness of life is more available for my appreciation. Thank you Elliott.
Brilliant teacher. Lovely central venue. Learned a lot! Thank you.
