YOGAthletica Handstand Drill-a-Day Oktoberfest (Day Seventeen - Level Two/Three)
Join me, Shana Meyerson, every day in October for a new ONE-MINUTE handstand drill video to teach, strengthen, and sometimes challenge you.
Today, we practice taking your handstand into a backbend. And then deeper into a backbend. And then back.
Backbends and handstands go together like chocolate and peanut butter, so...yum!
And this is a great heart-opener to help develop your scorpion pose, too!
Even though this is a very short video, I recommend holding the backbend on the wall to emphasize the opening, taking the time to deepen your upward bow, and not rushing the exit back out. Try leading (in and then out) with each leg on separate attempts.
Oh...and practice it until you master it...even if it takes more than a day, a week, or a year. If you are serious about your handstands, it's worth it!
