December 3, 2013 at 4:57 pm in reply to: Handstand !

The video shared looks like a great way to build the control and strength needed! I have another suggestion you can work on too. I’m not amazing at handstands (yet) but I find that doing elbow stands and forearm stands are extremely helpful when it comes to finding your balance. I was never scared of the kick up and I use to kick and kick until I was blue in the face, without any progress on holding. Once I started focusing on my forearm stands I saw a great improvement in holding a handstand. If you worry about falling over do them against a wall your back will be against the wall instead of facing like the other video show. If any of you want to look up the handstands using the pole in the lessons a Handstand is what I call it if your back is towards the pole and if your facing the pole its a reverse handstand. 🙂

Here is the progression I used for working on my balance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmIciddJyPY

I agree that working on back mobility can also help!

Forgot to mention folding forward in pigeon doesn’t change anything for the extended leg back leg as Corbi and I both mentioned before. By folding forward you are deepening the stretch of the front bent leg.

Hmmm I don’t cue anyone to keep their back arched for splits and psoas stretches. You always want to be pulling the hip forward, this is where her suggestion of contracting the abs helps. This goes for lunges, quad stretches etc. For any of the stretches you’ll also want the hips squared. Maybe you’re not sure of what squared hips and neutral spine is? Posting a video would be helpful so we can see what you are having issues with. Also if you have very tight quadriceps you may only feel the stretch there until they begin to relax.
