After some years devoted to his yoga practice and teaching, in 2010 Guillermo fully committed his practice to hand balance. He has studied and practised with a number of mentors and teachers across the world, such as Claude Victoria, Yuval Ayalon (whom he assists at his yearly UK visits), Valérie Doucet, Nicolás Montes de Oca, Mikael Kristiansen and Tom Weksler.

As a teacher, Guillermo has taught a variety of subjects, including music, languages and yoga from an early age. Obsessed with how we learn and adapt to new things, he applies his wealth of experience to his classes in order to maximise the students’ learning. In his classes, Guillermo tries to teach people not only to handstand, but also what the handstand can teach us about our bodies and minds. Students can apply these experiences and lessons not just to their hand balance practice but to any other discipline they wish to learn. Expect Guillermo’s classes to be physically and mentally demanding, as a clear mental focus is essential to the learning of any skill.

Classes: Handstand, Intermediate Handstand, Backbends, Pancake and Hips

Jacqueline (Jax) is a personal trainer specialising in bodyweight strength and flexibility.  Jax’s method, developed through eight years of experience in the industry, combines weighted resistance training and bodyweight strength alongside attention to other aspects of health: breathing, mindfulness and lifestyle. Jax’s mission at Lift is to create a warm and welcoming space for members, and inspire those in the pursuit of unrivalled strength and body awareness. Since working at Lift Jax has achieved multiple pull ups, and an array of patterns on the rings as well as improved core strength and biomechanics. Her goal this year is to tidy up her handstand line and achieve three clean press to handstands reps. She blends her training styles together for a unique offering to clients, reminding them to place as much importance on rest and recovery as the work itself.

Juan is a calisthenics athlete and movement enthusiast. Over the last few years Juan has adopted a more structured gymnastic strength training approach and has seen great developments in his own training and programming. He is equally at home on his hands as he is on the rings or even capoeira. He delivers a beautiful balance between reps, sets, movement and skill, and is constantly studying to better himself and those who train with him.

Classes: Core Conditioning, Foundation Rings, Intermediate Rings, Lower Body Conditioning

Kat is a force to be reckoned with on the rings and inspires the ladies of Lift every day with her strength, showing what can be achieved on the rings with hard work and commitment. However, she is in no way one dimensional and brings a multitude of skills and abilities to Lift. After studying for 3 years at drama school with a focus on movement and breathwork she decided to specialise in the physical aspects of her training and so began an exploration into circus, Calisthenics, martial arts, gymnastics, climbing and yoga.

It is this diverse range of experiences that gives her a unique skill set and that will help you to understand more about your own individual capabilities, building knowledge and confidence.

Miles’ teaching and physical practice background stem from ashtanga and rocket yoga. Along the way, hand balancing and calisthenics crept into his practice, and he now has a passion for exploring human movement and psychology through different training modalities.

For Miles, it’s as much about the mind as it is the body. His approach encompasses elements from different practices to bring you a more thorough and deeper understanding of yourself physically and mentally.

His classes are playful and open in energy and, at the same time, encourages space for exploration and reflection.
