OM in 30 seconds
The muscles in your hands are
responsible for providing stability and
support for your handstand. These
muscles respond to load, force and
stimulation. If there isn’t any force or
load, they stop working. They need
constant use, which is why it’s better
to train handstands little and often
rather than once a week.
Don’t Try This At Home, Page 38Practicing self-love is an ongoing
commitment to nourishing the most
important relationship we have in our
lives: the one with ourselves. It’s an
unconditional acceptance for ourselves;
the understanding that we don’t need
validation from external sources, we’re
already perfect as we are.
