Learn to do a handstand

“The first times I wanted to try a handstand without any assistance I was confronted with my fear of falling. Although I knew how to fall and I had several times fallen without any problem [...] No matter how hard I try, a "blockage" in my brain prevents me from doing so. Imagine that I was amazed to see people learning the handstand by trying directly free trials and falling forwards or walking on their hands, it was unthinkable for me!”

“After 2/3 months of practise I finally managed to "really" hold my first unsupported handstand! I actually felt like holding it, not just letting momentum keep me in balance for 1-2 seconds. Also, I am starting to feel my core, my glutes, my fingers and my arms contributing to the handstand. I feel a lot more controlled and my banana arch is going away.”

“However, it was a lack of strength that was a problem for me at the start of my progress. Add to this that I had never tried to stand on my hands, I was terrified of kicking it against a wall and you have one of the people who had the most trouble holding a damn handstand on this earth (ok I may be exaggerating a little but you get the idea).”
