3 drills for stronger handstands

Ready to strengthen your handstand?! These are 3 of the drills that challenge your core and your upper body. If you need some conditioning in your handstand practice, give them a try! 1. Press ups. Begin with knees on the ground and hands on either side of your thighs. Hands farther forward = easier. Suck thighs to low belly and press your hips to the sky 2. Handstand walks. AKA an elevated inchworm. Being in a plank with toes on a chair or bench. Walk your hands in until you’re making an L shape then walk back out to plank 3. Down dog pushups. From a shortened down dog stance, bend your elbows to 90 bringing the crown of your head towards the ground. Then press back up. As always please warm up before trying any drills and listen to your body! Video by @this_dog_is_down #yogapa
