| Foundations of
Posture: |
- If you have never practice
Handstand Posture, begin by using a wall for support.
- Come into
Adho
Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog). If you are using a wall for
support, finger tips are right against the wall.
- Keeping the action in the upper
body begin to walk one foot in a few inches (this is your base
leg) so the opposite foot is your swing leg.
- Press down into your palms, engage
your abdominal muscles and raise your swing leg up over your head
or until it meets a wall - base leg follows.
- Keep pressing down into your palms
and drawing the shoulder blades onto your back. Squeeze the
legs together and reach though the soles of your feet (feet are
flexed).
- To release: Engage your
abdominal muscles and lower down one leg at a time. Rest in
child
pose for a few minute before moving.
