Inversions | Handstand Training . I really love doing the following movements in successive order to establish strength, balance, stamina and agility. . One of the key practices to handstands is obtaining spacial awareness. Basically, it means getting acclimated with being upside down. It’s a skill achieved through, of course, consistent practice. Repetition is needed to develop a “6th sense” and a feeling of where you are in space. . Another key attribute is stacking the bones—shoulders over hands, hips over shoulders and strong engaged legs. This is where we find our “sweet spot.” . On an energetic level I find being upside energizing and uplifting. There is something exhilarating about it. Some feel it builds ego, which is ridiculous. As I adamantly disagree with that assessment. Depending on where you rest your attention it carves out character. . Remember it takes effort to make something seem effortless. When attempting handstand in the past I failed many times first before achieving more consistent balance. This is all part of the path. ❤️🔥 #movemindfully . || Recommendations || . Do five reps of each handstand entry. Possibly working up to three sets. . 🚩| Tuck Lifts | 5 reps 🚩| One Leg Kick Right | 5 reps 🚩| One Leg Kick Left | 5 reps 🚩| Pike Lifts | 5 reps . ☝🏽Remember to inhale 💨 when lifting. This always helps to generate elevating energy. . .

There will always be more challenging shapes and forms to accomplish in practice, but most importantly is our internal alignment, or better stated, where we send our conscious attention towards. What this means is it doesn’t necessarily mean more benefit is given the more complex the posture is. It only means there are other mountains to possibly climb, but may not be necessary for everyone at all times. I always like to keep the door open to possibility. To honor the nuance given on any given day. Somedays I feel like I could move mountains—other days I am simply happy to be breathing. 😉🤍 #movemindfully . . .

✨I N T E G R I T Y✨ What if you were known only through your words and deeds in the world? Yoga is not about aligning our bodies to strike poses. It’s about aligning our choices, words, and deeds with our most deeply held values. So we don’t sacrifice safety and stability in a shape to serve our egos and we don’t sacrifice our values and beliefs to serve our convenience.
