How to Handstand

Starting Position

1. Place both hands shoulder-width apart on the floor and keep your elbows straight.

2. Prepare to lift your legs straight up over your head.

3. It's also good to use a wall to help with balance.

Proper Form

1. Please use your arms and shoulders to keep your body upright.

2. Please stretch your legs and toes as straight as possible.

3. Maintain your balance and hold the position for as long as you can.

Breathing Technique

At the beginning, take a deep breath in, and while maintaining your posture, breathe slowly and evenly. Be careful not to hold your breath while focusing on balancing.

Precautions

1. When trying for the first time, it's safe to use the wall for balance or to receive assistance from a helper.

2. Please be careful not to strain your neck and shoulders.
