Yoga and self-care 🫶 Real time bits of practice

Honestly, I don’t like drills too, I always want to jump into handstand directly, no warm ups, no techniques…

But the difference when you actually warm up and use drills is abysmal!

Here - five super drills (intermediate) to improve your handstand. You need strength and control over specific muscle of the back chain if you want to master it.

1. Walk to wall - with leg extension.
2. Shoulder shrugs.
3. Shoulder taps (spread legs to spread weight- to make it easier).
4. Mini push ups with one leg straight and one to wall (wish I could do full push up but I’m still working on my strength 🥹)
5. Hold - try to not collapse the shoulder!

I’m still learning too and gotta do the hard work everyday… we got this 🫶

Let me know which one is your least favourite 🤪🙋🏻‍♀️

Don’t forget to breath and dance in between sets, it actually helps 💃🥲

You’ll get an iron core as well as strong shoulders and hip flexors 🦾

This is great exercise if you are learning to jump back and jump through in your ashtanga series!
