Handstand in Heels?
Been working on my Handstand. I can go up against the wall easy and the pole pretty easy. However, I am thinking about doing this with heels and it is giving me a bit of fright! Since my legs are going to be a few inches taller due to heels, when I put my head down, wont it be as if doing a handstand to a floor that is a few inches LOWER than where my feet are? Almost like doing a handstand DOWN a hill……yes?
I don't know, I guess I will try it tomorrow and see how it feels….if I dare. Kinda scary, or is it just my mind playing tricks on me?

It’s easier to do a headstand with your feet elevated– I’ve often heard people recommend you put your feet on yoga blocks to start 🙂 you can get your upper body more vertical which makes it easier to press up.

One thing to say…………….HELZ NO doing a handstand on HEELZ! Heck no………… Freaky, I don't think I will be trying that again for a LONG time!!!!!!!!! 🙂

i worked on my handstand lift with yoga blocks under my feet, which made it much easier. but they are of course more stable
what happened lyme lyte? hope you didn´t fall?

No, I didn't fall. Didn't even have the courage to TRY….well I tried a little but only once and that was enough. Just about broke my ankle when my legs came down. Plus I was afraid of putting a big old hole in the drywall with the back of my heel! Think I am going to go get some yoga block today, that sound much more stable. Thanks for the advice! 🙂

good decision not to try it when you are scared! i love my yoga blocks, you can do so much with them. I´m sure they´ll help you, too!
