About Léonie

I’m a French-Canadian circus artist, performer, and acupuncture therapist with years of experience in technical handbalancing and movement.

My approach is rooted in precision, body awareness, and consistent refinement and traditional handstand technique.
I’ve spent years developing my own technique — and now, I teach it with clarity and care, especially for adults who are starting their handbalancing journey later in life.

I believe that general strength, knowledge of anatomie, and intelligent training/rest, build not only better handbalancers, but healthier movers overall. I’m here to share what I’ve learned — from the studio to the stage — with those ready to get upside down and deepen their practice.

About the lesson

My approach is inclusive, technical, and tailored to your body. Whether you're training in handbalancing or acrodance, I work with your individual body type, strength, and current level to help you build a strong, sustainable practice.

Each class includes:
- A comprehensive warm-up
- Flexibility specific to handbalancing
- Strength and conditioning
- Technical drills to develop balance upside-down

All exercises are adapted to your personal progress — from total beginners to those with prior movement experience.

You'll learn the correct technique for foundational positions (straight, tuck, straddle), how to structure your training between classes, and receive "homework" to support your development or a training program.

What you need: A body, a flat ground, a wall, a chair and motivation.

Let’s get started!

Perfect! She is very caring, kind, and friendly, but also very knowledgeable. She put me at ease. I look forward to more sessions with Leo as I feel she will help me with my deficiencies and get to where I want to be.

Léonie's response
Renata is disciplined and commited to her path to learn Handstand, and I am very sure she will improve quickly, and has huge potentiel to reach her goal. Her body awarness through her yoga practice will definetly help a lot along her own Handstand journey. Keep going, and I am excited to see further progress together.

Léonie's response
Nilay is a very dedicated and passionate person to her craft & art. She is definitely an intuitive mover, (and fast learner in my opinion!) and her strong knowledge & inner listening of her body, as a dancer/performer, will certainly bring her everywhere she commit to go, & reach the goals she set for herself!! It's very pleasant to collaborate with hard working student like her!

I’ve take class in Handbalancing (in person), as a beginner I really felt safe & at the same time, they helped me fight some of my fear, and pushed me to new limit. Great & clear explanations, good spotter to understand my placement upside down and positive energy! thank you
