Your new favourite handstand drill 😈

"Brainy What-Why-How"

Your weekly nibble of brain-based tips to help you move and feel great!

🧠

What:

If your handstand is wobbly and wonky*, getting better stability with this drill may be what you need. 

(It's one of my favourite drills for getting better stability in handstand.)

*No handstand at all yet? You do NOT need to be able to handstand already to create good habits for your FUTURE handstand! 

Why:

Your brain has maps of all sorts of things -- e.g. past experiences, or the route you take to work -- and it also has maps for how to move your body!

So drills like this help you build those maps -- populating your maps with more data much like Google Maps -- so that you feel more familiar with this movement. 

This is very helpful once you're upside down and focusing on balancing 😉 

How:

Stability in a handstand comes largely from opposing forces of your hips, abs, and shoulders moving against each other. 

(I explain it in this short video.)

So this drill helps you train hip extension and shoulder flexion without "cheating" and letting your spine arch. 

We're doing this drill as part of the newest flow to MWA: Strong Core Compression and Lengthen Flow​
