Simon Krohn - Jump to Handstand

The summer of 2010 was a handstand summer and all I can say is: I love handstands! Jumping from Downward Facing Dog is a fun and useful transition to move between poses.

1. When you jump forward, think of jumping your hips over your head, rather than jumping your feet forward. This will give your jump more height.

2. To prepare to jump make sure to stabilize your shoulders. Then try to catch your balance with your legs bent and your feet and knees pressed together for stability. Notice that your fingertips are what prevent you from falling over.

3. Once you have found the balance slowly extend your legs to the sky.

Tribute: I have practiced yoga since 1996, but the last couple of years I have studied Anusara Yoga™ (founded by John Friend). It has been a joyful revolution to my practice, adding more freedom and stability and playfulness. I am thankful and wish to share what I have learned so far.

Amazing control, I have practised regular handstand against a wall for quite some time now but I just cannot seem to find that center balance which will allow me to stand without the wall as an aid. Any pointers?
