Find Freestanding Balance
In this video, we combine all the previous mobility, stability, position, and balance work to achieve a freestanding handstand.
We begin with a technique for coming out of a handstand safely when you kick up too hard or lose balance while standing. Once you can step out of your free-standing handstand safely, you are ready to begin kicking up and honing your balance.
The techniques in this video will show you how to use your legs and position to find your handstand balance. While these are quite effective tools, finding balance takes time to develop. Humans do not naturally balance upside down, but we can learn to find stability while inverted. Be patient and persistent, and soon you will find comfort and control upside down.
