  • it's easier if you just take one hand off the ground. gravity shifts your body onto one side for you.

  • That can work for those with enough arm strength to support their body weight with one hand...but this is not accessible for many yogis. Still, I use it sometimes to re-balance me. If you're pretty strong in your handstand, I'd try it. Namaste!

  • sigh, this is bull, my lower torso keeps tipping and therefore i loose balance D:<

    how do i keep it in CONTROL!!!

  • Keep your legs in alignment and your navel into your body so your belly doesn't release and make your back curve. Watch my Core Handstand video too. Good luck!!

  • But there's just one problem; I can't react that fast if I start to fall :/

  • You can--just plan for it in advance. It's not that hard to move to the side. You'll see. Keep your arms stable and don't freak out-just cartwheel:)

  • never do a handstand on the edge of a cliff or on a bridge over a motorway or during a funeral ceremony on the edge of the unfilled grave.

  • Great video. Just like all your videos. The only problem is you assume we can do a cartwheel! Can you do an instruction on how to do that? (All the other u-tube cartwheel instructions are for 75 lb 11-year old gymnasts.)
