[LEYSANTIMIRBOULATOVA]

it's not an easy process but neither is life!! hahahaha oh that made my day so much better!

[bowerplace]

I love you

[coldworld969]

i can do a proper handstand from the standing start-position but THIS with starting with the hands on the floor feel so wierd like i have no strenght in the shoulders and arms and don't get my ass up!! so frustrating but i will go on!!

[dangerrrhighvoltage]

Really awesome! I've been working on handstand for a while and this made a lot of things click. Thanks =)

[ch1h1nam1a]

Wow. I'm so glad you exist! This is just what I was looking for. Thank you.

[ashlynbabez0]

i cant do that! youve probably been in gymnastics forever! ive never been in gymnastics! its not as easy as you make it seem! help!

[zanuxiite]

I don't know why, but.. well, I am learning a handstand now in my gym class, and I want to practice this at home too, but.. I CAN do it at gym, and I CAN'T at home. :/ I feel lame at home. I don't know why, but everything I want to practice at home I just can't do. Sorry for my English :/

[4gotten]

nice a simple and straight forward to work up to a handstand i'll start trying now!

[TheJessiebbz]

you're so strong! <3

[SastaYoga]

Great technique and loads of personality that comes through. :-) Thanks for the vids! I am pretty strong in the shoulders but this I see is all about core, so must work on that. Thanks for the inspiration.

Namaste, Sara

[khater0]

you are the best , the words can't EXPLAIN .

[harisworks]

You make it look so easy :)

[dancediva91698]

hey sadie i tryed your handstand technique and it worked! my family was shocked that i learned it so fast. Thanks so much.

[taxivid]

awesome video, thanks so much :) ive been practicing and my confidence is going through the roof both in life and practice. namaste

[s4nd33p]

Best explanation of Handstands I've seen. I used to do Ashtanga many years ago and was almost able to do them the yoga way - never quite mastered it though! A few years later I've ditched gym weights and am starting into bodyweight exercises, and looking for progressions to Handstand push-ups (without a wall)... From a non-yoga perspective this is still a far superior method than some of the other progressions being taught out there - also much greater reliance on the core muscles.

[pallavkumar95]

Hey thats a great video with great instructions! I'll try and i hope ill be able to do it too.

thanks!

[thomasbarchen]

real nice! good tips!

[Rahiniyogini]

You are amazing-I can't wait for attend one of your immersions in 2011 in NYC!

[tideanou]

[missjahaira]

[regolution]

[jhandy171]

Thank you Sadie. You have the best instruction for a handstand, and by the way, for a headstand. Thank you Thank you! You're amazing. Namaste

[lionrock1995]

O_o nice legs

[sadienardini]

you rock back! xo

[tanodpetchburi]

thank so much

[sadienardini]

You're welcome!!

[tubephantom1]

Yo chick, your instructions are awesome. I'm going to follow your instructions and experience that journey from the floor to the wall. I love your composed way of speaking. Khoda hafiz.

[sadienardini]

Thanks!!  I try;) Glad you resonate with it.

Namaste,

Sadie

[Sylar000000]

Hi, Sadie.

I just want to say this had really helped me with hand balancing. And I want to thank for postign such an informative and greatly instructed video. Thank you so much.

[sadienardini]

You're so welcome. I'm happy it's helping!! S

[Tezzathetool]

I still cant do it... lets face it... I'll never handstand... I'm just to weak

[sadienardini]

It took me YEARS. But I was getting stronger all the time. You can do it! Just do smaller hops, each day...and chip away at it until you get there. You will!!

[ggsPaulggs]

YYAAAAA.. finaly i held the handstand without tounching the wall for about 10 seconds... none of the other videos explained the core side of handstands.. thanks so much xo

[edarlan69]

thank you very much, sadie!!!! by next year, i'll be doing handstands and its variations.... thanks to you! love all of your videos!

[melisa1211]

LOL, I know yoga is your thing, But any tips on teaching myself on how to do a back handspring. I am trying to learn a handstand, I have bridges and cartwheels down. Any tips? I learned this on my own ( I can do one hand cartwheels also..lol)

[Iwishilivedinnarnia]

could you please not use lol. it gives the impression that you are nervous and i don't think you'll be taken seriously... just a suggestion

[dimitri342]

hallo there.

i am practicing handstand almost 5 months now and the conclusion: i am the master of the wall!!!

trying hard to balance without wall but seems so far away from doing it. i feel like doing it some times but losing it again. any (extra) sugestion?

thanks a lot for this wonderful posting.

[sadienardini]

Hi there,

Try my No-wall Handstand Escape video--it will give you the courage to go wall-less, O Master;)

Sadie

[allornil]

this was a great tutorial. I haven't attempted a handstand yet but I'm working towards building my core strength enough to be able to do it. You make it look effortless!

[sadienardini]

One hop at a time....

xoSadie

[Russiaaan]

haha i just know il throw my self head first into the wall.. ow wel duno til i try it hey?

[jorgefborges]

i couldn't quite do this handstand against the wall cause i'd fall to the wall. i though i wasn't strong enofe. a few days ago, i was trying to do it and, just like that, i did it! i was so happy... it's so easy if you just keep trying, and do not feel defeated by the fact that you can't do it for the first try!

[sadienardini]

AWESOME!!! Rock and roll!! See...a little physics go a long way.

xoSadie

[04300806]

hey sadie, im sitting here with my husband bryan kest and we just watched your video and we just learned some cool some things! i watch your videos all the time and love them. hope to catch a class with you sometime!

[sadienardini]

Hey there! I'm honored...

Let me know when you're in town, you're invited to take a class on the house at The Fierce Club! We'll rock and roll.

xoSadie

[04300806]

thanks! i just added you on facebook, take care,

jazmine

[jorgefborges]

look, when u do this handstand, don't you fall to the wall? because i do... does it mean that i don't have enofe strenght? please answer... i don't know!!!

[anonwins]

if u mean ur arms collapse and u fall against the wall, that happens to me too :/

arms prob aren't strong enough

[sadienardini]

Yes, so kick lower until you learn to stabilize your arms as if they were in Plank Pose...shoulders over wrists. If your arms waver, it can cause you to fall too, even if you're strong enough. Keep the arms set, then see where your hops take you, and take them higher over time.

xoSadie

[amintac]

a tight belly is the clue for me

good luck

[palmajim]

thanks ms. sadienardini!! this video gave me the confidence to try to do the handstand!!! u have a fan here in the philippines!!!

[sadienardini]

Thanks--It took me 15 years to create it;)

Happy handstanding!

xoSadie

[Sheik06]

I didn't know that Yoga teaches like this. This is the best handstand tutorial I have found, much better than many gymnastics and breakdance tutorials here on youtube. This really explains everything you need to know!

Good video. I give it five stars.

[sadienardini]

THANKS SO MUCH!! I'm glad you like it. I like it too;)

Sadie

[jimmycarthur]

Thank you so much Sadie!! My tumbling coach was really impressed with how much longer I could hold a handstand after practicing with your videos for only a week. Thanks so much and keep up the awesome work you do! I really enjoy it all.

[sadienardini]

That's so cool! I'm glad to hear it. I will keep it up if you will!

xoxoSadie

[jimmycarthur]

I will definitely keep it up!! I can now do a twenty-second handstand!! :)

[kiwi780]

excellent demonstration! and thank you so much for the techniques that you taught in this video!

[sadienardini]

I'm happy you got a lot out of it--this helped me FINALLY free myself from that wall, one little kick at a time;)

xoSadie

[hufesw]

love u so much!

[sadienardini]

Gee, thanks! I'm blushing.

Sadie

[jonathantilleychoreo]

Thanks so much! I am working on my handstand and the tips and tricks you gave are SO helpful. Finding grace up there, even for a moment, can be so rewarding! Thanks!!!!

Namaste

[sadienardini]

You said it! I second that.

xoSadie

[chevon1920]

Lol, I just tried this half-a'd and it was horrible. I'm going to start with you videos. this is really cool.

[sadienardini]

Heheh...good idea;) Keep it up and soon you'll ROCK it!!

xoSadie

[ooyarnballoo]

i've just started practicing with this video but i can already tell it's going to be an experience i'm going to really enjoy. thank you. :-)

[sadienardini]

Great! Let me know how you're doing with it!

xoSadie

[papermario123456]

thank you so much, i've learned so much from watching your videos. You're an awesome instructor.

=D

[sadienardini]

Hey there,

I appreciate your comment...obviously;) Thanks for letting me know!! xoSadie

[VeggiePieface]

Do you have your scorp?

That's random,

but it's just a thought. :P

[artstarAS80]

im not gonna lie, but that was awesome, cant wait to start practicing and im so gonna get this down! thanks hepas

[sadienardini]

Thanks! Its fun just to try--and awesome to get, you're right.

Have at it, and have fun!!!

xoxoSadie

[xoslongxo]

what do you do if you are to scared to get away from the wall in fear you will fall?

[sadienardini]

You keep practicing, focusing on arm stability and core strength. 1000 times and you'll understand it better, and trust yourself more. Never let your arms move from straight up and down, and keep your navel into the spins so you can't backbend. plus watch my safe escape no-wall handstand video! Just cartwheel out if you go too far. Have fun! Don't let your fear win--just go slow, low, and enjoy the process. xoSadie

[Cell306]

i want to do the handstand :( i'm a bit built, but i still fin it difficult .... i'm practising some shoulder push ups on the wall, will they help ?

[IceHilda]

lock ur elbows and ull be fine

[sadienardini]

I would just keep practicing. Plus, try my Sadie's 30 video--that's how I got stronger! Good luck--and remember, repetition is magic!!!

xoSadie

[brynnus]

i've watched about 30 handstand vids on youtube now and this is far and away the most doable. thanks.

[yaba3050]

i agree. i also want to add that this video is great, not just comparing to the other videos.

thanks for the tutorial :D

[sadienardini]

Thanks, you two! I'm glad you're here, and that you like the teaching. You made my morning!

xoSadie

[himmy15]

Im 13 yrs old and I find it a little hard to do this pose. I really want to learn this coz i think its very fun! But Im almost halfway there because of your vid! thnx! btw I lyk your hair!:P

[sadienardini]

Hey--thank you! It's so cool that you're starting this early. You're a rockin' teen! Keep it up and let me know how it goes. Stay in alignment, and stay fearless!

xoxoSadie

[bateendje]

Hi, I have some trouble when I do a handstand: I always start to shake a bit and if I don't go down, it gets worse. my arms and legs feel strange, in a bad way. but when I do a headstand, i don't feel this. do you (or anyone else) know why I feel like this?

PS: I don't do yoga, I have to do it for gym class. I also have low blood pressure.

thanks for the help :)

your video's rock btw ;)

[contortionlover101]

u are very good at yoga i am doing it too!!

[sadienardini]

THANKS--and thanks all! Glad to know you're rocking it!

Sadie

[JBLeve]

Fantastic! Best explanation of this pose I've ever heard. Thank you for posting this. I've been at this pose for a couple of months, thanks to you - BAM! - I got it. Namaskar!

[jb1552]

Hmmm. I like what you said in the last part about swinging the standing leg. That helps a lot.

[ifjtoledo]

So good class about this asana, i ever wanted to do this exercise, and you help me to do it.

Thanks a lot beautifull yogi girl :)

[sadienardini]

My pleasure!

thanks for the nice comment.

Now practice it a LOT...and you'll rock it like me:)

peace,

Sadie
