Yoga handstand

Yoga is a form of fitness introduced into China from India. It mainly achieves the purpose of fitness by balancing the body and adjusting breathing. In modern society where life is becoming more and more stressful, yoga has become a fitness method for many women to relax their body and mind. There are many yoga movements, and different yoga movements have different effects on the body. One of them is called yoga handstand. So how should yoga handstand be performed specifically?

Exercise 1: Wall walking

This exercise prepares your arms and shoulders to bear your weight, training your body to remain rigid, stable, and straight in handstand.

Exercise 2: L-Shaped Wall Handstand

The L-stand allows you to gradually adapt to the inversion of your entire body, or do it against a wall. The difference is that the L stand strengthens your shoulders while your legs and feet on the wall share your body weight.

Exercise 3: Handstand with your back against the wall

If you are good at the previous pose, then you can practice the wall handstand. Wall handstand is an easy build on the previous pose, but that pose causes your back to round inward unnaturally, which is not what you want.

Practicing handstand with your back to the wall can simulate the state of independent handstand where the body and center of gravity are in a straight line. At the same time, you can clearly know the body weight you bear when handstand.

Exercise 4: Crow Pose

This is a great handstand for beginners because you already have good arm strength, so you put all your strength in your arms and it's easier to balance in this compact pose.

Exercise 5: Split Leg Handstand

Although the ultimate version of yoga handstand is to keep the body in a straight line, it is really difficult at the beginning. Split Handstand is easier. First, lean against the wall, a little further away from the wall, with just the tips of your toes touching the wall. When you have mastered the balance, move your toes away.

Exercise 6: Elbow Stand

Elbow stand exercises your core muscles, helping you maintain balance and steady your body while you stretch your legs and stand upside down, providing a stable foundation.
