If you’ve been practicing your handstands for a while and feel comfortable balancing
upside down, you can start working on different variations. Try bending your knees
into your chest, or split your legs open! Breathe deeply and smile.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN WORKING ON YOUR HANDSTAND: •
Shoulders line up with wrists
• Spread the fingers wide
• Press the thumbs and the index fingers down properly • Arms are straight, but don’t
lock the elbows in!
• Squared hips
• Top leg straight and strong—don’t bend the knee of the lifted leg • Shoulders away
from the ears
