Preparation
While the main focus is on the upper body, your entire body is worked through the handstand hold. Start in a classic downward facing dog yoga position. Gaze from between your hands and place the weight of your torso on your upper arms.
Method
Step 1
Lift one leg skyward (come on to the ball of the grounded foot)
Step 2
Take hops off the ground until you find balance
Step 3
The grounded leg is working towards meeting the leg that is already lifted to find your straight leg handstand
Step 4
Find your balance and hold for 5 seconds on your first attempt and then build the time up for as long as you can.
