    This is a handstand tutorial for all levels to set up your handstand foundation right. At Breathe and Flow we teach yoga and have developed a handstand program with over 20 videos taking you from no handstand to holding it in the middle of the room. Let's look at why you still cannot handstand. There are a lot of common mistakes which are the reason why you're still not confidently handstanding in the middle of the room.
    Make sure you're warmed up and watch the tutorials listed below. This are the five foundational tips for handstand. If you want to dive deep, practice with Flo on Patreon in a 20 video full handstand program that covers everything in depth: bit.ly/3rZwtKk

    Thank you for your excellent instruction and emphasis on key details. I have been consistently drilling HS for the past 20 months but focused more on various entries and catching float or a 1-2 seconds of balance because trying to stay inverted would cook my shoulders even with being able to do 60 sec wall holds. Finally holding 5-8 secs free standing more consistently and refocusing on more balance and alignment which this vid breaks down really well--coming back to the basics at every point in the journey and staying humble...

    Thank you SO much for these tips! I have been struggling with my handstands, and I think the splits part will help me a lot. I don't know why I never thought of holding my legs like that to get balance. I was also placing my hands too far apart. It is going to take a lot of practice to get used to having them so close together. I have very narrow shoulders.

    Funny how I got a chance to be one of the first viewers. I just said to myself, "im feeling like doing a practice" then I stoped working and came to youtube to look at your channel, and you had just posted it 9 seconds ago. Kind syncronic i think. And specially that video that ive been working handstands and has it as a goal for 2020. Just to add that, lol. Again, thanks a lot for your teaching, ive watched many of the videos and improved a lot my practice.

    Hi! Thanks Flo for a very well thought out and useful video. Just one piece of advice for beginners: if possible use a wall where there are no pieces of furniture near by. The cabinet next to Flo's mat would be a great place to hurt yourself if you fell...

    Hi Flo, hi Bree. Thanks a lot for the video, very helpfull. Just a question tho, you didn't talk about the "spider hands / fingers" but it seems to be a basic for handstand. What's your opinion about it? Thanks for all the content anyway. I'm seriously considering your Patreon to improve my yoga/handstand/way of life. You guys are very inspiring. With love and gratitude. Namaste.

    • @BreatheAndFlow
      @BreatheAndFlow  Před 3 lety +2

      We talked about it. Flo said your fingers are your breaks and so you will have to press your fingertips into the ground. For some people by doing this the hands go into what you call spider hands, for some people not. There are different philosophies on how much gripping you should be doing with your fingertips in a handstand but this is a more advanced technique. For now remember your fingers are your breaks so just like when you stand and lean forward and your toes grip, your finger will grip while upside down. If you join patreon, thanks for the cup of coffee for both of us 🙏
