How to practice forearm handstand forearm handstand points

"Body inversion", which places the weight and stability of the body between the arms and the head, is said to make the body healthier head calmer when done this way and with breathing, and is therefore known as the king of yoga poses. It's just that for beginners, it's difficult to complete this movement all at once. So here we present a few steps, from easy to hard, to eventually get upside down.

Choose a soft, flat surface

First of all, find a softer place so your head won't hurt like hell when you're upside down. You can use a yoga mat, carpet or a thicker towel or something. Kneel on the floor, cross your arms, grab your right elbow with the palm of your left hand, grab your left elbow with the palm of your right hand, and prop your crossed arms on the floor, almost directly under your chin, with your back flat. Then release the left and right palms and rotate the arms so that the palms of both hands are held in front of each other and the forearms form an equilateral triangle. Bend your head down and place it between the arms at the apex of the triangle formed by the forearms.

Concentrate on feeling the center of gravity

Concentrate on feeling the weight of your body shift. Make sure the fingers of both hands are relaxed and not squeezing each other. Slowly shift most of your weight to your forearms between your wrists and elbows, without putting all your weight on your head. Bend your left leg close to your chest until your core is tense and only the tips of your toes are left on your right foot. After holding this for 5-10 breaths, switch to the other side to do. The purpose of this action is to strengthen the core muscles. Repeat this action until you feel the point of a foot very easy, it seems to float easily off the ground. This floating sensation will occur when you feel comfortable doing this movement and your hips move further forward consciously to the top of your shoulders.

Collect the leg and bend the knee

When the foot that is on the ground has an easy floating sensation, bend it up and bring it to your chest as the other foot does. This way your knees are tucked in front of your chest and close together, hold this position for a few breaths. When you feel comfortable with the movement, begin to slowly let your knees leave your chest and stretch out toward the ceiling, but keep your back, hips, and shoulders in one plane. Hold this pose for several breaths of time. The core muscles exert themselves to help keep the body stable.

Straighten your legs

Slowly straighten your legs in the direction of the ceiling to form a fully extended position. At this point, the hips are directly above the shoulders, the feet are directly above the hips, and the body is on the same plane. Bring your legs together and keep them stable, without swaying. Hold for 5-10 breaths.

Advanced Breakthrough

When you are more familiar with the headstand, try the handstand support to make it more challenging. Start with the same steps as above, with your head on the apex of your arms triangle and your legs straight. Then tighten your core muscles and slowly move your hips behind you so that they are above the vertical plane, allowing your legs to float upward while leaving the ground.
