Handstand exercises

Something is still not as it’s supposed to be. To jump into a tuck handstand is perhaps not the right approach. I wish I could bend the legs when in position of the left picture. In yoga the movement shall be under control.

What is easy is not interesting. So I keep trying. I modify exercises. I take pictures. I read. I watch tutorials.

What I hoped became true. The handstand training is very good for the vinyasa of Ashtanga Yoga. I got stronger. Today I could do all vinyasaa of primary. Unbelievable.

I’ll work on core strength for sure.

Today I checked my handstand books. One exercise is always recommended. It’s climbing up the wall with the feet, belly is facing the wall. All handstand authors agree that a strong core is important. The shoulders shall be trained as well. They are injured very fast if they are not strong. I’ve a full schedule. Realizing that the exercises are useful motivates me.

Amazing how many people like to learn handstand. This must be something very special.
